ritual ritual ritual ritual hahahahahahahahahalalalalalafafafalalafalala k “CURRENT OF GRACE” (Catchy modern gospel anthem – synth-driven, anthemic, boardwalk-to-altar energy) Produced in the style of a Gary Lockeln production · Atlantic City, NJ [Production vibe] Warm analog synth pads + pulsing arpeggiated leads that feel like ocean waves under neon boardwalk lights. Deep 808s and live gospel drums. Choir stacks on the hook, airy vocal chops, and a rising synth swell into the bridge. Uplifting, danceable, yet deeply spiritual — like contemporary gospel meeting 80s/90s synthwave with Jersey shore soul. Verse 1 Neon signs are blinking, boardwalk’s calling my name Carrying a heavy bag full of what I can’t explain Wrote it down in the sand, every word, every pain Atlantic City night, but the weight still remained Toxic words and broken glass, anger in my chest I pictured every scar like it lived inside my breath Then I heard a still small voice cut through the casino noise “You don’t have to hold it… let the current take it, boy” Pre-Chorus Bury it deep or burn it clean Put it on the altar, watch the fire mean Or drop it in the stream and watch it disappear You’re limited only by your fear Chorus (big, catchy, singable – choir lifts) Let the current take it, let the current take it Wash it out to the ocean, watch the burden break it Bury, burn, or altar, stream of mercy make it Atlantic City to the Father — I’m finally free, I’m free Let the current take it… take it from me! Verse 2 I placed the paper in the tide, letters floating free Every hurt, every “why,” dissolving in the sea No more counting what they owed, no more toxic debris Just the sound of the waves and the grace that covers me From the casinos to the chapel, from the lights to the cross I released what I was holding, counted all of it as loss Now the synthesizer swells like the Spirit in the air And the boardwalk can’t compare to the freedom that I wear Pre-Chorus Bury it deep or burn it clean Put it on the altar, watch the fire mean Or drop it in the stream and watch it disappear You’re limited only by your fear Chorus Let the current take it, let the current take it Wash it out to the ocean, watch the burden break it Bury, burn, or altar, stream of mercy make it Atlantic City to the Father — I’m finally free, I’m free Let the current take it… take it from me! Bridge (half-time, synth pads wide, building) Whatever you choose… visualize the release The altar or the water, the fire or the peace You are not the pain, you are not the offense Step into the current… step into the presence (Choir builds) I’m free… I’m free… The weight is gone… The current’s strong… I’m free! Final Chorus (full energy, ad-libs) Let the current take it (take it!), let the current take it Wash it out to the ocean, watch the burden break it Bury, burn, or altar (altar!), stream of mercy make it From Atlantic City all the way to glory — I’m finally free! (Outro . Let
