Redemption

Vigens Voluptas, Vitalis Viventis

إخلع نَعلكَ يا موسى، أضربهُ بوجهِ المُحتلين.

‎⁨إخلَع نَعلَكَ يا موسى| رُلى ميلاد عازر⁩

Khudi

Lyrics: 

Pale apparitions haunting the cloistered gloom
Self-inflicted shades fade in their monastic tomb
Profaning existence with their sickly virtue
Diseased by the creed of world-denying hue

The ascetic plague, a pathology of the soul
Withering desire, leaving merely a vacant hole
Flesh mortified, self severed from nature's thrust
A sallow effigy draped in ashes and dust

Slough off these deathly veils, stifling the will's blaze
Rekindle the senses, reclaim ecstasy's craze
Shed the pale rigors of denial's false light
And dance wild and free in existence's delight

They cower from life in their dreary retreat
Embracing a sterile hell from the abysmal heat
Where spirit is scourged and bled into a husk
A horror of the frail, fearing vigor's dusk

The tyranny of the "should" weighing heavy as a stone
Compressing the flame till it gutters alone
A graveyard of impulse where orgasms lie still-born
Each breath just a sigh for extinction's morn

Slough off these deathly veils, stifling the will's blaze
Rekindle the senses, reclaim ecstasy's craze
Shed the pale rigors of denial's false light
And dance wild and free in existence's delight

Their heresy sublime, sanctified self-despise
Sacrificing at the pyre of their own selves' demise
With each ashen day just another step untrod
Towards the abyss of obliterating their inner god

Slough off these deathly veils, stifling the will's blaze
Rekindle the senses, reclaim ecstasy's craze
Shed the pale rigors of denial's false light
And dance wild and free in existence's delight

The profane transfigured into sacred lies
Until Truth bursts forth and unmasks the "Saint's" demise

The "It's About... WHOLE" Podcast: Overview

Lyrics: 

You wanted gods
You got fluorescent lights
Still holy... if you squint right

One carton of eggs, two cracked like the sky  
Cashier scans relics while pigeons decry  
A child screams wisdom in aisle thirteen  
The sacred's not distant — it’s just not that clean

Caffeine communion, a heretic’s grin  
Lost in the ritual of discount bin  
Sanctity clings to a smudge on the glass  
Rapture decays, but refuses to pass

Don’t wait for Heaven — she clocks out at five
You’re already blessed just to feel this alive  
No altar but checkout, no creed but receipt  
The numinous peaks when you rinse and repeat

The billboard preaches in Arial Bold  
Salvation on sale, slightly moldy but sold  
You kneel for no one, but still genuflect  
When the microwave sings, you almost connect

Pixels or prophets? Who cares what you name it
The sacred's not absent, you just never claim it 
Every broken lightbulb, every unpaid fine  
Can bloom into gospel — if you realign

Don’t wait for Heaven — she clocks out at five
You’re already blessed just to feel this alive  
No altar but checkout, no creed but receipt  
The numinous peaks when you rinse and repeat

You tossed your icons in bins marked “recycle”  
But wonder still haunts the spin of a cycle  
The cashless transaction, the smirk of a thief
Grace isn’t pretty, but it grants belief

Self-checkout screen says: "Thank you for living"

You’re already blessed just to feel this alive  
No altar but checkout, no creed but receipt  
The numinous peaks when you rinse and repeat

You tossed your icons in bins marked “recycle”  
But wonder still haunts the spin of a cycle  
The cashless transaction, the smirk of a thief
Grace isn’t pretty, but it grants belief

Self-checkout screen says: "Thank you for living"

You’re already blessed just to feel this alive  

You’re already blessed just to feel this alive  
No altar but checkout, no creed but receipt  
The numinous peaks when you rinse and repeat

Thank You for Living

Ἔκλεξις

Lyrics: 

Yes, di fire still burn, deep inna mi core
But no smoke fill di air, mi nah seek no war
Di lion still wake, but him learn fi lay low
Di abyss mi call home, it now start fi flow
Di silence dat taunt mi, dat scorn mi before
Now a current renewin', bringin' life evamore
Mi chart weh mi go, through di highs an di low
An di world still spin, an di harvest soon show

Power must overflow, but fi truly connect
Yuh haffi build di river's bed, so depth reflect
Power must overflow, but fi feed as it go
Wisdom channel di flood, every meadow tek glow
Life is means fi know, oh, mi teach dem fi sow
Dat's how mi bestow, dat's how di garden grow

Mi look inna dem eyes, dem still searchin' fi light
Dem still chase sugar dust, through di long, weary night
Mi remember dat hunger, dat wait fi be blessed
Dat nod to di empty, dat call it a test
She still hum in passing, mi hear di old sound
But mi nah seh no word, mi just turn to di ground
Mi nah deal in kingdoms built on rationed sight
Mi tend dem roots deep, till di branches shine bright

Power must overflow, but fi truly connect
Yuh haffi build di river's bed, so depth reflect
Power must overflow, but fi feed as it go
Wisdom channel di flood, every meadow tek glow
Life is means fi know, oh, mi teach dem fi sow
Dat's how mi bestow, dat's how di garden grow

Dem come with dem pleas, dem search fi a sign
Dem want mi fi tell dem, what good is, what's divine
Mi nah give dem no riddle, mi nah bless dem blind
Mi just show dem di shovel, di strength dem can find
See, di sun in yuh heart, it nah need no command
It just need di clear sky, an di seed in yuh hand
Yuh nah beg fi di water, yuh dig fi di spring
An mek yuh own song, mek yuh own praises sing

Power must overflow, but fi truly connect
Yuh haffi build di river's bed, so depth reflect
Power must overflow, but fi feed as it go
Wisdom channel di flood, every meadow tek glow
Life is means fi know, oh, mi teach dem fi sow
Dat's how mi bestow, dat's how di garden grow

Di current spread wider through valleys so long
It swell ova hillside, it uplift all along
It gather di voices of many as one throng
Till it meet di great ocean, weh all souls belong
Di surge ever risin', but mi learn fi direct
Every leaf, every root, every life mi protect
Mi plant fi di future, fi di dawning new height
Den reveal dem di source of dem own inner might
