"The dark mirror of dystopian fiction functions as a deterrent, a warning that we should not allow the still curable illness of our present world to turn into the abhorrent pathologies of the world of the future." -Erika Gottlieb

Entering the sequence in predefined order
We know our place among this static disorder
Conspiracies are woven in the darkest corners
Billboards and neon signs show off the wealth of ruthless

Data consumed by All-Seeing Eye
"Greater good" the grandest lie
This world of cipher was set to fail
Deterrence to prevail

Welcome into the darkest state of time
And find something to remain
Wake up and realize that brightest days are over
The Final sequence is getting closer

War has changed to battles fought behind disguise
Feeds of chaos, led by watchers unidentified
Oh how those proxy wars have worn us all out
The shadow networks controlling our demise

Illusions of threat - to cover
The true design (Succumb to your fears)
This world of cipher was set to fail
Deterrence to prevail

You, stop right there!
What is your status?
Identify yourself or be contained

Four seasons reduced to one by temples of toxic smoke and fog
Continuous downpour of blight brought us this eternal fall
Network built for greater good now serves to control the weak and poor
But don't you dare to run and hide, from the "comforts" of neon light

Welcome into the darkest state of time
And find something to remain
Wake up and realize that brightest days are over
The Final sequence is getting closer

"Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance." -Isaac Asimov

Anno Dystopia

Deterrence

My first album ever recorded. 
Nocturnal Mysteries is a one man black metal band from Poland. 
I'm inspired by 90s norwegian black metal artists. 
I also have to mention that: 
- all my songs are recorded at my own. I have no money for studios etc, 
- I used some cheap old mic and also my shitty phone cause the mic no longer wants to record the sound from my amp..., 
- All the drums sound so shitty because they are made in various apps or taken from youtube (I don't play drums yet).
