HOPE

Vatican City's only dance band, CARDINAL SIN!, answers the question... "Can churchgoing and partying coexist?"

LYRICS:
------
LUX! 
IN TENEBRIS!  
VENI 
ET SALTA!  

Light in the darkness 
Come with us and dance

Under golden domes
The night comes alive  
Marble saints watching 
As the spotlights arrive  
Candles flicker
Shadows align  
Blessed be this holy
Holy skyline

We raise our hands 
Like cathedral spires  
Feel the bass lift us higher
We’re on fire  

Sacred and electric
It’s the same desire  
In the name of love
We’re a Eurovision choir

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)  
We still like to dance and sing  
Hell...
We’ll do most anything  

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Blessed in the rhythm
Saints in the sway  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)  
We still feel the music play

Silver necklaces swinging to the beat  
Incense mixing with the crowd’s heartbeat  
Hymns and dance-pop music side by side  
Faith and fever can both collide

We raise our hands 
Like cathedral spires  
Feel the bass lift us higher
We’re on fire  
Sacred and electric
It’s the same desire  
In the name of love
We’re a Eurovision choir
 
B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)  
We still like to dance and sing  
Hell...
We’ll do most anything  

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Blessed in the rhythm
Saints in the sway  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)  
We still feel the music play

Kyrie eleison… (Turn the lights on)  
Gloria in excelsis… (We can’t help this)  
Sanctus, sanctus… (We just want to move)  
This beat is the prayer
This floor is the proof

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)
We still like to dance and sing  
Hell...
We’ll do most anything  

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Blessed in the rhythm
Saints in the sway  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)  
We still feel the music play

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A…  
In light, in love, in dance… amen.  
Amen, amen, amen  
AMEN!

🎵 I’m not brave, got no choice- (Official Lyric Video by Brady Kent) 😢💔🎶 

'I’m not brave, got no choice' is about  a woman who has tested positive.

She now struggles wtih all the things that people say to you in these circumstances. Like
'Youv'e had a long life.Youv'e got children.It happens, for a reason.It's ok, to feel like you do'

In the end she concludes : 'I’m not brave, got no choice. It’s just the roll, of the dice.Out of, the clear blue sky'

🎵 With a haunting blues vibe and deeply felt lyrics, " I’m not brave, got no choice' questions what you say and why, to someone in this situation.

Do you know someone who has tested postive ?

I’m not brave, got no choice

Worries’ is about love that lifts burdens. It’s a promise to someone you care about: I’ll hold your worries when they’re too heavy, I’ll carry you when you’re too tired, and you’ll never be alone.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Once I lived in shades of sorrow
Every morning looked the same
The baggie and the needle borrowed
All my joy and left me shame
But I walked out past the garden
Where the winter melts to rain
And I saw the world unguarded
All its pleasure, all its pain

[Verse 2]
These stones have whispered stories
These rivers speak my name
What once was dull and endless
Now is wild and uncontained
The rules that used to cage me
Are as fragile as the breeze
And the shame that tried to claim me
Falls like leaves from autumn trees

[Chorus]
Is it me, or am I flying?
Like an eagle in the sky
I can see a burst of color
Where I used to crawl and hide
I have time, sweet, endless mercy
And the road runs out of sight
I can walk this path forever
And I don’t mind

[Bridge]
My mind’s a quiet lantern now
It glows but does not burn
I don’t need every answer
It’s enough to live and learn
Each breath, a small redemption
Each heartbeat, something new
I once was blind to wonder
Now the whole world comes in view

[Outro / Chorus]
Is it me, or am I flying?
Past the ruins I left behind
I can see a burst of color
And I feel the pulse of time
I will walk this road forever
In the rain or in the shine
And I don’t mind
No, I don’t mind

COLOR — Track 8 of 8 from VICE by Nova J

This song came out of exploring pentatonic scales during some recent guitar study sessions. While experimenting with phrasing and feel, I landed on a riff that had real energy to it — and it grew into this full rock track, high-energy with a bluesy edge running through it. Best enjoyed loud.

“Dancing to the Sound of a Gun” is a high-energy alternative rock track with a raw, blues-inspired edge. Driven by gritty guitars, steady drums, and a bold vocal delivery, it blends modern rock production with a classic, live-band feel.
