Eclectic alt rock.
Homo Deprecatus means "deprecated self." In programming, when a method or function is outdated but still in use for backwards compatibility reasons, it is said to be deprecated. Mankind is in such a state. We're selfish and sinful, but God keeps us around because that's how He made us. Eventually, He will return, and we will be given new bodies. We will no longer be sinful, we will be the new, superior model of mankind. Homo Deprecatus is Stephen Smith - All instruments and programming.

Lyrics
Welcome to my dungeon. Would you like something to drink? Well Maybe not please do sit down. Now you've had time to think. You've considered my offer. Do you think it's just? I promise all that you desire to fulfill every lust. (Nay!) Pre Chorus Get behind me Satan! These baubles you call prize: a gilded cage, poison sweet with lies. Get behind me Satan! I've stronger faith than this. I'll not be swayed! so be dismissed. (for) Chorus I have strength of will, the faith of a mustard tree. I have strenght of will. You cannot tempt me! Verse Perhaps I'll up the ante, I'll increase your reward. If you want wine and women, well then I'll send them in hordes. Or money even talent. Is it power that you crave? To rule o'er your own island, with everyone else your slave? repeat Pre Chorus repat Chorus Bridge Excellent, Flee from me, to the comfort of your arms There you'll rot! Patiently. Safe from all my harms. Verse Look how God has blessed you! Perhaps it was yourself? You worked so hard, resiste me. Now wallow in your wealth. You are the great disciple, your Father's favorite son. Not even Job was ever such a blessed loyal one. Pre Chorus Nay Get behind me Father, these blessing I have earned: I want much more, I'll not be spurned. Get behind me Father, no one has loved you more than I have loved. There are none before. repeat Chorus Chorus For You had strength of will, to pre-empt the Great I Am, and I will be there still to point and laugh and damn you...
