Concepts of Math: Book One
This track is instrumental.
A universe so complex and intricate Some believe arose from grand design A product of art and contrivance Attributed to a power divine Does our knowledge, so incomplete Lead one to this conclusion? Better to be a sKeptic Than to follow a false illusion A source of hope and fear That puts power in the hands of priests A force to reward and avenge And tame the savage beast A doctrine that takes refuge Where science can't yet tread We choose not to trust our logic But imagination instead To police our earthly behavior And keep the masses under control To assuage our fear of death The promise of an immortal soul Faith cannot move mountains We see them where they're not We believe in the ancient myth And not our rational thought A doctrine that takes refuge Where science may soon tread Rather than imagination Let's find the truth instead Man created in his own image This great dictator of events And the priests shall inherit the Earth While the innocent man repents

Technology in Action T, T, T, T, Technology inaction Technology ascends fast-paced; it's inspirational Don't get too inspired cause it's devastational Can't keep up with the latest gen, it's operational Both lines of offset growth are relational Confused and incomplete we struggle to keep pace Lost in our device - lost and bound for dark fates Scientists who cut the edge they fall short as well Morality; sluggish at best, a sad tale to tell T, T, T, T, Technology inaction The most advanced machines are born from creative minds But the thoughts of the end user, always lag behind Like the dawn of the Internet saw transformation Info superhighway to e-commerce solution Just cause we have power or technical prowess Doesn't make us ready to own such progress To be responsible takes a quantum leap Into the unknown - for most, a dive too deep Technology in Action Technology in Action Technology in Action T, T, T, T, Technology inaction A modified environment is the path we've all been on Since proto-humans sharpened their first stones With goals meant for good, a subjective idea But the best intentions still lead us to fear For millennia we have had the tools To bring about our demise - spears in hands of fools People will do good or evil regardless Of what technology helps them do it best Technology in Action Technology in Action

Numeric truths evaluate What we are conditioned to think Signals, ideas, information And messages all interlink Taking account of images Pushing accuracy to the brink But errors exist When gauging reality And glitches persist In actuality The question lacks a conclusion The answer continues if it fades Attempting to pinpoint estimates With edges sharper than blades Compilations compute an average As the constancy retrogrades To understand the matter It boils down to the parts Disengage the factors With figures off of the charts To what degree can we take it? What's the value of a face? How do we define existence, With numbers on a decimal place? In the universe that's microscopic Electrical forces overtake Time is short, ticking faster Few laws of gravity to break As a pest securely fastens To the surface as it crawls Hanging upside down it clings To the sheets, to the walls In the universe beyond colossal Immense spheres taking shape Pulling mass toward the center Gravity can't escape Countless sums show a difference Too numerous to neglect The slightest change having impact Results one would not expect The tipping point is critical Which leads to a drastic effect To understand the matter It boils down to the parts Disengage the factors With figures off of the charts To what degree can we take it? What's the value of a face? How do we define existence, With numbers on a decimal place?

I - Origin As time appeared a system premiered Synced, clicking, clocks ticking Facts set in stone, logic on its own In the making, for our taking II - Translating Nature into Numbers A miracle confronts us, a method to explain Madness that surrounds us - the rules of our domain III - Addition, Multiplication, Substraction, Division To combine computations, carry over the stacked rows To align in formations as the column overflows Fundamental building blocks - forced to ingrain To the dozens etched away, buried in my brain Reduce with deductions, find the difference of the two In declining productions, the opposition's for review Break it down and separate, attempt to contain Sliced up into bits to the same degree What furthermore persists - it will remain IV - Geometry Part 1 Making points for reference capricious in design Two determined targets constitute a line Two congruent figures, if they translate equally Reflect or rotate - by law we can relate - Geometry Part 2 Critical concepts captured in results beyond refute Discovered, not invented, no reference - absolute A language to decipher, teaching us to arrange Patterns of space and structure and elements of change V - Number line - Part 1 Scattered across and placed sequentially Continuing on and on into infinity Ascending to peaks too towering to gauge Descending to depths extending off the page - Number line - Part 2 To the left - consecutively decreasing To the right - consecutively increasing Too indefinite to comprehend? There is no end... VI - Calculus Differential or integral Newton's motion and gravitation's pull VII - Imagine... Living only inside my head apart from y and x I squared equals minus one, a friend that seems complex VIII - Algebra Part 1 Two sides to each equation, follow all of the signs A road to the same destination on either side of the lines A perfect pair estranged - separated at birth Isolate what has changed to find its worth - Algebra Part 2 To transfer from side to side, perform the inverse Collect what is defined - far from the diverse End the search for the unresolved in problems attained With all values revealed for the unknown In the final result - the balance maintained Imagined and real, composite and prime So many numbers, so little time...
