The Reaper 04:04
I wanted to be part of the solution Who knew it would be genocide Just pawns of a grand absolutions We were angels of homicide There was no room to deny We were the devil in disguise I'd rather you be six feet under Then have all of us to be drowned Why let us suffer, just so you can survive I just wanted to be the hero Then I went from there to zero Before I could even save the world Who knew I had such grand intentions Existence is not the same as living You can breathe without doing anything So why take up our all air, when it's so precious to have Someone has to be the hero It was never me afterall I wore the mask of the reaper You said I was the fall I'm sick of us sinking deeper Time to break down this wall Founded on entitlement Fed by your inner wolf Little did you know It'd lead to the final solution Burning down the world you know Now it's your time to go

Destiny 03:21
What do you think you need from me, I don't know what you expect, I'm not here to be taken advantage of, I'm not here to be taken apart., I wasn't alive from the start, I was never really, I don't want to believe. This is my destiny, I don't want to believe, That this the way it's meant to be. I learned from you, That things are never True, When you want them to be, We were once so perfect a reflection of a memory We were once so pure a perfect destiny never to be I don't want to believe. This is my destiny, I don't want to believe, That this the way it's meant to be. Things were never so beautiful, I thought we were forever, I learned to love you, In ways I could never dream of, Things were never the same, After you fell left, My shadow turned to ash, I knew things could never be. My heart turned to dust. I don't want to believe. This is my destiny, I don't want to believe, That this the way it's meant to be. Things were so beautiful, But then they all began to fade away, I never wanted to live, Without your warming touch. I don't want to believe. This is my destiny, I don't want to believe, That this the way it's meant to be, I don't want to believe. This is my destiny, I don't want to believe, That this the way it's meant to be.

Scream 03:37
So much determination but no motivation, Letting the blind run blind, Hopeless services breed contempt, Keeping us safely strapped to our seats, Where, do we go now? Where, are we supposed to be! Where, do we go now? Where, are we supposed to be! How much longer is this going to take! The blind, just lead the blind, And we’re destined to all fall right to our knees, The blind, just lead the blind, Fall right back where we belong, The blind, just lead the blind, And we’re destined to all fall right to our knees, The blind, just lead the blind, Fall right back where we belong. Do you wanna scream… Do you wanna scream… Do you wanna scream!!! AWWW SCREAMMMMM!! Screaammm! Screaaaaammmm! Keep me up close where you will always see me, Know at all times that you have me in your grasp, I thought I knew you But you only were a lie, Just like everything I ever told myself! I am right back where I was, When I first started my own damnation, Destined to repeat the hells of the years, Cause I’m so week, I can’t call it off!

Mirror City 07:35
Open the gates, open the gates, Can you see my reflection, This just a taste of my direction, A sacred city, covered in sin, But let me tell, where hasn't been? We're all sinners inside, We’re all sinners ready to hide To sin is to live, to sin is to love We bring the Serpent below, to the realm above This is it, the way we feel it The devil in our souls As it clings for control At the stake of our morality We just sometimes forget how it is, To truly live in another's shoes, Open your heart brethren, And we will welcome you in. Cherish the moment, and take everything in, We've set our sights on disaster The grand implosion The design built to fail As if we were ever anything more There is a place more beautiful than the stars, It lies only but ahead. We must find ourselves drawn towards, The glowing promise beckoning, And we will find destiny's destination in the Mirror City.

Sugar in your cereal, caffeine in your drink All the chemicals, there’s no time to think Cause your just second rate You were never the best How do you think you’re gonna be- Come, anything! Degeneration generation What do you want from me Born, but never of their kind Never wanted I was always left behind The typical modern habitual I just hate, I just breed But I do it all because I need More, more, The peak of greed. No time to breathe, just sink The only thing attaching me is this digital link Human interaction, second plan of action All that I need is my flashing screens How long did you think before it would change us all Change the way we think, change the way we feel, from the inside out Grown in a callous environments Nothing but the empty emotions, But what does anyone care anymore Except for when the anger begins to flare What did you think would happen With everyone in their own cocktail dream How long did you think efore this would all fall to tiny pieces This whole world is going insane Look around and you'll know what I mean There's no denying, things are in the gutter Can we dig ourself out of this mess Or are we just destined to stumble n the rubble of yesterday We've been at this game for so long All of us, with the rules as second thought How long did you think we would go Before we eventually got caught If not by our actions, then by our assassinations Of our own mother earth, that we so rely Oh how we look as we party, in rave and lunacy And watch our mother Gaia crumble and die We're all just products Of mass corporate adulteration Locked in our silly chambers Of eternal masturbation But what did you think we were doing With all this ego inflation All these soul draining, life sucking things we do As we claim superiority to all around We are Dystopia The God Given Nation Of Consumption

These lands were once fertile But we have bathed in decadence for too long We have set up the garden of Eden And then we just let it burn Why cannot we find a rhythm Natural to our kingdom that we have in front of us Instead we devote to chaos, violence and depravity You tell us your our salvation But you bring us our doom You are the fucking in our room! Mercantilist bastards I see you in your ships Flashing your diamonds and hiding your whips We are the ones who always pay We are the broken from society Ethics and etiquette remain triumphant But in the end it'll leave our world desolate For only stagnation comes from the quarantine of truth For some ideals can never become more than they are Creations of those who dream

Feed 03:50
We put our faith in plastic cards We revel in celebrations designed To make us forget Happiness can seem so elusive When your streets are paved in blood We bask in our illusion Yet we are the barbarians Strolling along the plaza Life by the courtyard I've only known these pleasures From my given status card Leisure is such a luxury That i've been given From the work Of past generations Capital and consumption We must become the institution Let’s go and make it an art form Simple subtle dichotomies Everything is in reality So we can find beauty in the debris Of this modern landscape

about

A collaboration album between theProphet & Tom Musik entitled "Dystopia".

Set in the year 2136, the final year before the apocalypse that is Z Day, theProphet having completed the transitions from the Shadowalker trials is getting ready for his final mission. This album could be considered his transitory musings on the nature of the world that he currently inhabits. What is it truly like to be in a future where technology, stimulation, and artifice comprises more and more of our waking hours? Would it be a cocktail dream of bliss? Or would we be locked into a silent nightmare? These are the questions that theProphet must ask himself, before the time of Judgement begins.

The instrumentals were originally recorded in 2007-2009, however the vocals were not recorded until 2015, with this year also being the year of it's first public release.

Released in partnership with The Infidel Netwerk artist, musician, and philosopher collective:
