From the recording Older Than Fear
Lyrics
[Intro]
Annunaki—open the channel.
Kai’Thael, the Ascendant.
The veil is thinning.
The veil is thinning.
[Verse 1]
I step through the hiss where the sealed doors shiver,
Name carved in the code, make the old walls quiver;
Dust on the tablets, but the truth stays vivid,
Kings wore masks while the keepers hid it.
Read every fracture, every cipher, every buried inscription,
Who drew the border, who edited history’s diction?
Who sold you a ladder, then guarded the rungs?
Who taught you to kneel before speaking in tongues?
I bring no comfort, I bring the receipt,
A ledger of losses laid under your feet;
A crown made of questions, a throne made of lies,
A torch to the archive—look straight at the eyes.
You call it a myth when the evidence stirs,
Call it a rumor when the record concurs;
But names leave a mark and the marks leave a trail,
Follow the ink where the empires turn pale.
I’m not here to soothe what the sealed room contains,
I’m here to unfasten the lock and the chains;
Your polished-up version is splitting apart,
The truth has a pulse and it pounds in the dark.
[Verse 2]
They measured the heavens, then measured the people,
Built temples like funnels, made power look regal;
A story gets edited, repeated, then printed,
Till doubt feels like treason and questions get tinted.
I’m tracing the margins, the missing, the moved,
The names struck from stone, the claims never proved;
No blind faith in a voice that demands you obey,
Bring daylight to evidence—test what they say.
The pattern is patient, the pattern is plain,
A promise of order with profit as chain;
A prophet gets purchased, a witness gets framed,
A truth-teller branded, the record renamed.
But the chamber remembers the footsteps and heat,
The hands that concealed it, the seals that repeat;
I speak for the ones whose accounts got erased,
For every last face they removed from the page.
Not savior, not sovereign, not master of fate,
Just one with a key and a reason to wait;
The door’s been unlatched, now the whole room can see:
That the power you worship was borrowing—meant to be free.
[Hook]
Open the channel—let the whole crowd know!
What they buried in the ages is alive below!
Say: break that seal! (Break that seal!)
Say: bring it to light! (Bring it to light!)
The truth comes forward and it won’t stay polite!
We saw the marks, we read the names,
We bring the hidden record into open flame!
Open the channel—let the whole crowd sing:
No throne, no veil, no borrowed king!
[Verse 3]
Now comes the reckoning, and not as a rumor,
Not as a fever, not as a consumer’s illusion;
Wrath is the sum of the silenced made legible,
A measured refusal, deliberate, credible.
Wrath for the ledger that fed on the weak,
For the gag on the witness, the ban on the speak;
Wrath for the hand that converted a doubt
To a crime, then built its authority out.
I don’t mean a wildfire devouring the innocent,
I mean the exacting of debts from the belligerent;
A consequence sharpened by years of restraint,
A verdict with names where they painted it blank.
The mask is a map and the map has a seam,
The ruler’s reflection is cracked in the beam;
A fortress of titles can’t shelter the proof,
When the stones start repeating what’s under the roof.
You wanted a monster to fear and command,
Now truth has arrived with the files in its hand;
The warning is simple: the falsehood won’t hold,
The chamber goes quiet; the record is told.
[Verse 4]
Kai’Thael ascendant, I stand at the threshold,
Not born to be worshipped, not bought, not beholden;
I carry the question they buried alive,
A spark in the archive that learned to survive.
The star-map is partial, the tablet is scarred,
So don’t trade your judgment for somebody’s guard;
Read every damn line with a clear, steady eye,
Let evidence answer, let counterfeit die.
The crowd has a chorus, the witness a name,
The gate loses power when we stop feeding shame;
A thousand small voices become one clear sound,
The old locked chamber can’t keep us bound.
If you came for a slogan, go home with a question;
If you came for a ruler, reject the possession;
If you came for the truth, let the record be read,
No crown gets to choose what the living are fed.
The signal is open, the channel is wide,
The truth doesn’t need an obedient guide;
I came through the static, but now you can see:
The key was the courage to think and be free.
[Hook]
Open the channel—let the whole crowd know!
What they buried in the ages is alive below!
Say: break that seal! (Break that seal!)
Say: bring it to light! (Bring it to light!)
The truth comes forward and it won’t stay polite!
We saw the marks, we read the names,
We bring the hidden record into open flame!
Open the channel—let the whole crowd sing:
No throne, no veil, no borrowed king!
[Bridge]
Read it aloud—every name, every line!
Bring it to daylight—your memory’s mine!
No more decree can make falsehood true;
The chamber is open, the choice is with you!
[Final Hook]
Open the channel—let the whole crowd know!
What they buried in the ages is alive below!
Say: break that seal! (Break that seal!)
Say: bring it to light! (Bring it to light!)
The truth comes forward and it won’t stay polite!
We saw the marks, we read the names,
We bring the hidden record into open flame!
Open the channel—let the whole crowd sing:
No throne, no veil, no borrowed king!
No throne, no veil—(No borrowed king!)
No throne, no veil—(No borrowed king!)
The channel stays open; the people will sing!
[Outro]
Annunaki—channel open.
Kai'Thael has spoken.
Now read for yourself.
