I have been writing and talking about Ekpyrosis for a while now. It's a term that means "purification by fire". This is the fiery doorway of initiation that we need to pass through as we shift out of the Kali Yuga into an ascending era of enlightened consciousness.
The term "fire" signifies not only the internal fire of love and wisdom that purifies our minds of the impurities that shroud our vision and judgement, but also the external fire that cleanses the environment of all the toxic filth that has been mindlessly dumped on it.
And now - not a minute too soon - the "Ekpyrosis" song composed by Tom Greenwood is here, to inspire us in our journey of collective ascension, as we seek to disentangle ourselves from the accumulated trauma and dense materialistic vibrations of the Kali Yuga, that are still trying to keep us bound down and locked up in narcissistic and destructive ways of thinking and living.
Tom Greenwood is a specialist in web sustainability and the co-founder of the London based digital agency, Wholegrain Digital. He is the author of the book, "Sustainable Web Design", and writes 'Oxymoron' on Substack, exploring the confusing world of sustainable business.
Tom also has a knack for writing lyrics and composing songs. He wrote the lyrics for an entire album of songs earlier in 2026, that he titled, "Stealth Defenders of the Status Quo". He sent me a message to let me know that some of the songs take some inspiration from my book, Yuga Shift, notably the last song of the album, Ekpyrosis.
When I listened to Ekpyrosis, I was blown away by the insightful and heartfelt lyrics of the song, and was captivated by its melody. I immediately felt that I had to share this on my website.
So here it is guys, click on the link below to listen to Ekpyrosis on YouTube Music. It's available on most music apps. Tom has shared the lyrics of the song with me, which you will find below. Happy listening!

"Ekpyrosis" Lyrics
We’re at the end of the Kali Yuga
Shiva’s begun to dance
The world stands divided
And influencers prance
We’re at the end of the Age of Pisces
The lifting of the veil
A world run by demagogues
Where imagination’s stale
We’re at the end of the Hopi Fourth World
The man in the red hat
Fly's a gourd of ashes
To the land where Zoroaster sat
Ekpyrosis
Will purify your heart
But if you dig your heals in
You’ll miss a powerful new start
Ekpyrosis
There’s no place to hide
Technology can’t save you
If you’re cold inside
The firehorse is running
Garuda’s about to fly
We’re releasing our impurities
It might hurt and make you cry
If you look outside for saviour
Promises will abound
But when the time comes to face it
Where will they be found?
They’ll ask you for their vote
Or sell you their new app
Yet between their words and truth
Is a very big gap
Purify your heart
Spend time with those you love
Forgive the past truly
And rise above
For the ones who claim to serve us
Will be nowhere in sight
They’ll be hiding in their bunkers
Away from the light
Ekpyrosis
Metamorphosis is hard
But the only way is through
It’s time to let down our guard
Ekpyrosis
It’s time to come together
Uniting as one
Hearts like feathers
You might feel the world is changing
They’ll tell you it’s not true
Using scare tactics
To keep you in the zoo
But your heart is opening up
You’ve seen visions of hope
You’re now trusting intuition
More than the Pope
The river of life is flowing
Toward a different world
They’ll try to debunk it
Pushing what they've sold
A big lie is coming
It’s coming into view
And when it does you can be sure
That it won’t be true
Go toward the light
Hear only truthful sound
Ignore those who’ve controlled us
From the shadows underground
Ekpyrosis
Emerge as your best self
Let go of all your fear
And leave hate on the shelf
Ekpyrosis
It’s time to turn the page
Through the tough transition
To the Golden Age
Ekpyrosis
Hold love in your heart
Ekpyrosis
It’s time for a new start
