Premonitions

Premonitions refers to a short prophetic scripture that tells the Nine Sufferings of man in times of the old-world (pre-2030). These Nine Sufferings were foretold to be the cause of the Machinations, or the plans set forth by the Transhumans to bring severe change to the unstable human race in the late 2020's. Premonitions is also the basis for Arbiter's album Colossus and can each be attributed to a corresponding song on the album.

Before man built the Colossi...

...there was a loss of hope, and a lust for revenge...

...there was conquest...

...there was war...

...there was betrayal...

...there was shame...

...there was change...

...there was pain...

...there was defeat and victory...

...and there was Prophecy.
