Ancient Words of Power — Volume 1: The Guardians · Complete 5-Track Collection
Ancient Words of Power — Volume 1: The Guardians is a five-track collection from Sommer Sankofa transforming identifiable ancient Egyptian and Biblical sacred texts into contemporary melodic roots reggae and ritual dub.
Across approximately 31 minutes, powerful male and female melodies, vintage dub bass, warm brass and African-inspired percussion carry a musical journey through guarded passage, resistance, vindication, disciplined speech and peaceful rest.

- The Threshold Guard — protection at the sacred threshold
- The Crocodile's Retreat — facing danger from four directions
- Courtroom Vindication — testimony, justice and recognition
- The Weapon Shield — protection and the power of speech
- Terror by Night — refuge and peaceful sleep
