1. The Arbiter's Clockwork

[Instrumental]

2. Implicit Differentiation

Numbers cloud my thoughts with no clear finish line in sight
The only thought in mind the silent solace of the night
The former years have offered such a simple path to take
One obstacle to overcome, I need a fucking break
Omen of obscurity, a single test to pass
A vicious abstract juggernaut to mortify the mass
It's made dissonant,entombment of the brain
A chorus of new formulas could drive a man insane

The alphabet and numbers coexisting all the same
An open pit of seething embers flamebroils my brain

This ruthless unrelenting shit is wasting precious time
mind mutilating marathons manipulate my mind
This restless calculation a completely flawed design
Symbols read like hieroglyphs and tear this tested mind

Calculation of a different kind
Obliterates this tested mind

Calculation of a different kind
The Answers are impossible to find

Calculations of a foreign kind
Decimate this tortured mind

In stark contrast to fundamentals known since birth
A nasty plot to put a plague upon this earth
Made to overwhelm the minds of citizens today
They bend the path with laws and proofs to fortify your fate
Hear the numbers as they start to sing their sultry tune
Victims of a sick cruel joke, my mind is void of room
I can't understand this shit, despite close observation
they're speaking Japanese, implicit differentiation

3. A Pawn On Death's Province

Forced above toward the vicious blackened canopy
An infinite cognizance to standardize depravity
The only thing that stands between demise is you and me
Will one survive to test the limits of insanity
Suffer in secrecy your faults shine bright for everyone to see
You burn within the deepest reach of hell
void the soul and scour the brain,your heads becomes cell
A simple drought of common sense
A terrible sight of deplorable blight breaks the will of men
Malevolent heresy will taint your name for all eternity
Now let the demons seal your tomb
A deed sanctioned by the lord of the dark
Reside in sin's unholy womb
destined to be damned, bear the mark
Now demons peel the flesh from the remains of your human form
Now jaded, time stands still, any discretion exists no more
Look upon the massive burning city, void of life
An insurrection in the previous life has paved a path in which all you know is this
The dark lord seeks your soul to serve his severed sect, and offer you cannot resist
Hail the lord of darkness,
Grave defiler. hatred born
Now you fall to fate's twisted game
A pawn on death's province, a conscript save a name
Hail the lord of dark
Grave defiler ,hatred born
Look upon the massive burning city, be forewarned
So now you see what your treachery has brought you
This heresy now comes full circle
Feel the burning eyes
Looking out at you vindictive innovations
End with an unholy guile
May you acts be reconciled
Such a cowardly disguise
Hiding from all of your bitter incantations
You act just like a child
You are destined for exile
Descent complete, you're now a shell in Lucifer's retreat

4. Vulture Horticulture

A single sunflower is all he could afford
Who knew a simple garden could deter an undead hoard
You'll reap the benefit while they photosynthesize
They hunger for the organ setting right behind your eyes
As the decomposing hoard
Draws closer to your door
The foul stench of the undead spewing bile from their pores
Enough to make you heave
They long to watch you bleed
the switch was hit their feeble minds only tell them to feed
These plants will not suffice
Your brains set in their sights
All you can do is watch and pray you'll make it through the night
This is your last resort
The fiends will be no more
These vicious bombs you wield will send them to the morgue

What once was dead now thrives again

He deploys armies from his cold dead armored hands
The zomboss lays your plans to waste
He Consumes countless souls and smashes scouts within his hands
Interested in intellects taste

With the cruelest of intentions
The dead were resurrected
Miles of mindless minions march to munch upon your marrow
Inclined to make you one of the infected

5. Aftermath

Radiation thick like smoke suffocates what breathes on the surface
A faint trace of a mushroom cloud makes man question his purpose
Why are we here? We're we engineered to destroy?
Rational men act as children
treating atomic bombs like toys

Radiation thick like smoke suffocates what breathes on the surface
A faint trace of a mushroom cloud reminds us that we're all fucking worthless

The whole damn worlds a contest
To see who holds the biggest gun
But when it's over and it's all said and done, no one has won
Ode To the deceased
Victims of ignorance
Kus a collection of super rich assholes can't set aside their arrogance

Ode To the deceased
Victims of ignorance
We've fallen victim to a system of negligence

Why are we here? We're we engineered to destroy?
Rational men act as children
treating atomic bombs like toys

No one reigns supreme, we are all human beings
Stuck in a life without a plan, were all left searching for meaning
The end will swiftly come, atomic bombs for everyone.
the calendar ends at the end of the year so go get yourself a gun
Preach to your peers about the end of days
Misguided passion pushes paranoia
pray to a false god swearing to change your ways
but don't say I didn't warn ya

Our lives are trivial, our input is nothing
Apocalypse is upon their lips
We're at the mercy of the man with the fat ring
Nothing but Flesh covered poker chips

Everything's gone, a new day has dawned
This ravaged earth is soiled with corpses
Thousands of casualties that could have been avoided
Lives ended by our armed forces

6. Awaken The Sires

With each and every dollar spent, we dig out ditches deeper.
Each man a slave to bottomless debt until we meet the reaper.
Work your fingers to the bone to buy what you desire,
Years go by, you wish for time knowing you'll soon expire.
Looking back you'll realize you've wasted all your time
When Death comes knocking on your door, you won't leave with a dime

Why are we wasting our lives?

make a stand, it's now or never
stand and fight, or suffer forever

There's more to life than the fame and wealth you seek.
the dollar sign Suffocates your mind, infecting the thoughts you think
mankind as a whole has been overcome with noxious greed
there's no time to stop and think with money to make and mouths to feed

When will people realize their times not worth a paycheck
break your back and swell your mind for green pieces of paper
minds of men misguided by massive amounts of money
hearts of man consumed by greed, and insatiable gluttony.

the federal reserve
is a clever guise hidden in plain sight
a single word
sailed a scandal overhead like a fucking kite.

We've spent too much time putting all our faith in corruption.
fat cats with Cheshire grins have ensured mankind's destruction.

7. The Seventh Circle

8. Infinite

Inhaling smoke opens the mind and drowns out all deception
Allowing one to step away from man's profound perception
As the embers burn Time seems to slow its pace
Eyes now bloodshot,glazed and red The truth will show its face
Unity with space and time breeds new ground for believing
A conscious contradiction, first impressions are deceiving
ascend from this abysmal place to find a deeper meaning
My mind runs wild, my body lies limp with eyes crimson and gleaming
The focus of mankind assured their own damnation
The lies we're told grow like a fucking infestation
Faultless but upon us, a soothing perish song
Hear their heartless motives, we're forced to sing along

Mind numbing monotony
Combined with class conformity
Minds are grown like botony
In this gruesome deformity

When observing the majority
Your labeled a minority
A user, an abuser, a new target for authorities

Heads of hypocrites spew shit about our harmless dope
Then go home ,Hit the bottle, pouring poison down their throats
I wonder why such a vile substance was made legal
Consuming countless lives that once belonged to decent people

Mankind is flawed, now see the error in your ways
Our own stupidity will be the end of days
A lone mans voice, a whimper amongst waves
It's time to break these shackles, we're not fucking slaves

Inhaling smoke opens the mind and drowns out all deception
Allowing one to step away from man's profound perception
As the embers burn Time seems to slow its pace
Eyes now bloodshot,glazed and red The truth will show its face

So now we see, flaws embedded with in men
These flaws Ensure extinction, stubborn until the end
The old will wither and die, then well have our time
The future is bright for us, I see
It in my mind

One day new brilliant minds will finally be put to use
no longer will we have to suffer this negligence and this abuse

In this uphill battle, it seems we've reached the summit
A single bill will pass and we will watch the crime rates plummet

In this uphill battle, it seems we've reached the peak
A single bill will lead us to the answer that we seek

9. Titans Of The Frost

Fearless forces trudge on to wail of a war horn
They march with heavy hearts and thoughts of home, now long forlorn
As they gazed upon the field through clouds of freezing breath
A familiar taste fell on their lips
The air was thick with death
Thunderhead trudged down the line and met each set of eyes
And from beneath his beard erupts a mighty battle cry
Hail us the wicked ones, rulers of land and sea
We must assume our rightful place, fulfill the prophecy
We've traveled over oceans by the might of many men
We've come to far to not take back whats ours again

now is the time
To take the throne
Now is the time
To reclaim our home

Enshrouded in darkness
We've achieved a most unholy strength
completion of this dark ritual will ensure our acceptance amongst dark ranks

Enshrouded in darkness
we've obtained a most unholy Fervor
For ever loyal to the underlord, for life a faithful server

Though the tide is strong, we move onward despite treacherous seas
Though the tide is strong, we are stronger, bringing foes to their knees

try as you may
You will fall

Though the tide is strong, we move onward despite treacherous seas
Though the tide is strong, we are stronger, bringing foes to their knees

Try as you may
You will fall

Armies fight and fall at the hands and might of the hoard
Kneel before us you traitorous fiend, or meet your end by the might of my sword

10. Welfare Warfare

A never ending line leads to a government concession
A collection of broken dreams and spiraling depression
Green paper and silver coin have brought about a new obsession
This currency-based worship drives us deep into recession
Welcome to your nightmare
Your Times worth judged in dollars
They know youre not all there
Trade in your freedom for collars
The bill of rights is void now
This couldn't have been their vision
Freedom isn't always free
Time to make a decision
open mouths and empty hands
Just waiting To be fed
Sitting ducks waiting for aid, we're all as good as dead
With every dollar that you spend you buy into the game
To them we are all dollar signs
They see us all the same
You are a consumer
A product of the system
How dare you even question them
You Better not resist them
oppressive hands hover above the American population
Bastardized machines, we're under constant observation
Tables have turned,times have changed and much to their elation
Secret prisons are resurrected all across the nation
Control control control control
They're Never satisfied with more
it's time that we reverse the role
The American dream has been thrown out the door

It's time to end oppression
Time to prove our worth
We have a chance to make a change
To save this Dying earth
If we dont make stand now, we'll never get the chance
open your mouth and speak your mind, lest this be our last dance
