From the recording Older Than Fear
Lyrics
[Spoken Intro]
Annunaki, open the channel.
Kai'thael the Ascendant enters the chamber.
The music is the messenger.
Signal transmitting clear now.
[Hook]
KEER-ee-ay—cut the syllable, carry it through the veil
ay-LAY-ee-sohn—turn the fragment, let the hidden truth exhale
KEER-ee-ay—slice the silence, send the signal, set the scale
ay-LAY-ee-sohn—kai'thael in the chamber, transmission never fails
[Verse 1]
I cross the threshold where the chalk marks circle the stone,
No crown in my palm—just a code in the marrow and bone.
The room holds its breath as the old constellations align,
I read what the fear tried to bury between every line.
A key is a question; a lock is a lesson in trust,
A name can be thunder, but thunder still answers the dust.
I sift through the symbols, the counterfeit gold and the gloss,
Find truth in the seam where the ledger accounts for the loss.
They taught you the ceiling was all that the universe had,
I show you the hinge and the hand that was holding it back.
No prophet for hire, no borrowed authority's seal,
I speak from the wound where the real and the rumored convene.
The signal is clear, but the receiver must sharpen its ear;
The loudest transmission can still be the one built on fear.
So measure each claim by the light it can carry through time,
And leave every throne when it asks you to trade in your mind.
[Hook]
KEER-ee-ay—cut the syllable, carry it through the veil
ay-LAY-ee-sohn—turn the fragment, let the hidden truth exhale
KEER-ee-ay—slice the silence, send the signal, set the scale
ay-LAY-ee-sohn—kai'thael in the chamber, transmission never fails
[Verse 2]
I map the false mirrors, each image repeating the frame,
A thousand bright masks, but the hunger behind them's the same.
They sell you a cage with a view and they call it a sky,
Then invoice your wonder each time that you ask them why.
I turn every riddle, let consonants click into place,
A cipher of choices, not fate etched in stone or in space.
The mind is a gate—but the gate isn't proof of a god;
Ask who holds the hinge, who collects when the faithful applaud.
A ledger of empires, their borders inked over the years,
The margins keep record of bargains disguised as your fears.
I don't bring a master key cut for the locks of the world;
I teach you to question the hand that keeps every key curled.
From whisper to witness, from witness to evidence weighed,
The truest revelation survives being tested and played.
No fog in my language, no halo to hide a weak claim;
I bring you the fire, then I ask you to name what it frames.
[Hook]
KEER-ee-ay—cut the syllable, carry it through the veil
ay-LAY-ee-sohn—turn the fragment, let the hidden truth exhale
KEER-ee-ay—slice the silence, send the signal, set the scale
ay-LAY-ee-sohn—kai'thael in the chamber, transmission never fails
[Verse 3]
Now carry the charge with discernment, not worship or haste,
A message grows rotten when ego is driving its case.
The chamber is inward; its walls are the stories you keep,
Its door swings on courage, its guard is the vow to think deep.
The dead leave their questions in ink and the living reply,
Each age takes the measure, then chooses what myths will survive.
If power says kneel, ask the cost of the ground where you land;
If wonder says leap, take a compass along in your hand.
I came as a voice in the interval, not as your chain,
A spark for the seeker to carry through weather and strain.
The signal stays clear when the receiver can challenge the source,
When mercy and rigor can travel the very same course.
So cut up the chorus; let fragments make patterns anew,
But never confuse the arrangement with proof that it's true.
Kai'thael ascendant—no master above your own sight;
The channel is open: discernments the blade in the night
[Hook]
KEER-ee-ay—cut the syllable, carry it through the veil
ay-LAY-ee-sohn—turn the fragment, let the hidden truth exhale
KEER-ee-ay—slice the silence, send the signal, set the scale
ay-LAY-ee-sohn—kai'thael in the chamber, transmission never fails
[Spoken Outro]
Annunaki signal transmitting clear now.
The chamber is quiet.
Keep your questions sharp.
Keep your judgment your own.
Channel closed.
