Maid Malou, fetch the wood Remember how you carried all you could And like those Indigo shaman do We dance dance dance... Quiet is a voice that whispers within, you hear: I am soft and sparkle in the shadows of the smokey world of You and I See how the Hunter's Moon, my love, has frozen frosty halo's over the sky. Maid Malou, do you posses A magical Maori spell to ride the Killer Whale? Cuz blue electric Neptune screams "Girl! Swim swim swim!..." Quiet is a voice that whispers within, you hear: I am soft and sparkle in the shadows of the smokey world of You and I See how the Hunter's Moon, my love, has frozen frosty halo's over the sky. Maid Malou, can you address A world in which the mouse became a lioness? Cuz every day Triangle Way is squeakin teenie tiny twee ROAR ROAR ROAR... Still quiet is a voice that whispers within, you hear: I am soft and sparkle in the shadows of the smokey world of You and I See how the Hunter's Moon, my love, has frozen frosty halo's over the sky. Golden Dawn is rising It's melting all the icing in my mind So come home, oh come home Come home everyone The end of time has begun And I've missed your voice.

The Eye of the Hurricane is home It’s where we all came from And it’s where we’re gunna go, Don’t you know? We ventured out into the great unknown Our memories left upon a pillow throne And carved a life out in the sand And tried our very best to understand Something new. Oh I wonder what you’ve seen Cuz I’m Still looking, for you, But I’ve got some clues to hide from you. The Eye of the Hurricane is home It’s where all is lost when everything is whole And the dark becomes the doorway into all you love From everything you’ve loathed And I know you know So though your ropey rhymes jump out of time And tie your violet heart to mine For just a couple seconds of your life A diamond truth is buried in the sound That melts your sand castle to the ground All you half human beings Yeah its so funny to be split like crowney seed wings So funny to exist beneath the mist Oh sweet feminine negative bliss Waves are rising Butterfly unt’where the Eye of the Hurricane is home The Eye of the Hurricane is home Its where we all came from And it’s where we’re gunna go Don’t you know? Yeah I know and you know... How every pip can understand that cherry trees can dream a dream of wet sand leaving Donkey Eyes beneath the feet we travellers keep here on this beach below the sky lit shore you saw before the bean could cross the ocean all alone in the honeycomb of her backbone which breaks when tones of bells and stones are dropped on leaves on weeds and seeds in paper boats to make them bob and bow and loose their grip and trip beyond the streams of yonder woods and up the roots beneath my foot. The Eye of the Hurricane is home A secret spark lit place inside the night Where you and I keep all we’ve ever known Just let me know when you wanna go back home.

Luna di Luna 06:17
“Luna di Luna” he cries out to her, When millions of moth come to kiss, And under the storm candelabra did scorch her, Mistaking her cheek for love bliss, But where do the moths go at night? She would wonder, far beyond perimeters here, We are stones in the day which of whom would not dare take a step t’where the night is crystal clear. Patterns on the porch hold the chords of many thoughts, I turn away, you look a dragonfly delight, And for all you know a cigarillo to the back of the hand is pleasing, Every single day we run, running after the coin lit carrousel hour by hour, Till the Chocolate Moon and the Golden Spoon make sense to you, Tell me more... In this tale of vile betrayal, Employ if you will a perfect time, Your body dust, Your movement lust, And your heart; this evenings wine. Take me away to where eagles dare, And the dragons fight fire with fire, Singing’ Luna di Luna, Luna di Lune aye eh... Aye a pox on you in time Run for your life girl Tho it brings you down! Aye a pox on you in time Run for your life girl I know it brings you down! Luna di Luna” he cries out to her, When millions of moth come to kiss, And under the storm candelabra did scorch her, Mistaking her cheek for love bliss, But where do the moths go at night? She would wonder, far beyond perimeters here, We are stones in the day which of whom would not dare take a step t’where the night is... Step t’where the night is crystal clear.

Meanwhile, lost and wondering stars have a world of their own Hardly moving, life is making a map of a cosmic home A young but crazy mazy raised a hand asking what of love And know man knows but why it comes for us only that she does Realising temples turn to dust through a touch of time And every man can walk ahead in peace with tents and wine And nature mother leaves her clue on every pilgrims trail And heads them t’where the horizon flips the coin of Yin Yang tales Unsatisfied with words of wisdom off by heart Mazy oh so crazy lies back down to count the stars Beside her lies a mind alike, similar to her own And the air is stung with what they sung Their conversation goes... Calling you my Earthly love Left me lost and leaping for the breath we stole between us My sweetest friend Can we pick it up again? Cuz the snow can slow us down but melts in our hands Lazy Mazy oh os crazy went to the sky lit shore She said “alright” then caught a ride to a near by Red Rum store To take a drink her mind must sink Down the evolution line Life so sublime She could only find a manifesto on her mind Sometime for miles and miles you travel in a march of despair Then the Sun comes round you see the tracks on the ground Neighbour tell me what you wanna believe! Another Red Rum for my friend please tell me what you see... Deep in the Sun you find the one. Calling you my Earthly love Left me lost and leaping for the breath we stole between us My sweetest friend Can we pick it up again? Cuz the snow can slow us down but melts in our hands Melts in our hands

Breathless 05:52
Blackbird calls in the end of the day To half a human fading, fading away Butterfly steal the colour of the sky Tis this I will miss most of all So long, goodbye And after all each breath was pretty small When the words were the wind, and the wind made mountains call So just sail easy for a little while It won’t be long Your concrete patients with your breathless ships of oceans gone Have moved us Have moves us Have cured us

The Tower 08:14
Estavore stands across the void somewhere Laughing at the Earth do you remember? As we strive blind sewing all the seed before the star shine. So take your time This tale unwinds with dust in your breath Speak free Gang warily on the road you love And rather be the fire that you are.

I found a book buried in the leaves Not long after you fell asleep, That told the tale of the Ruby Fruit Jungle And how everybody’s one and the same, We are trees growing wild in a forest of fantasy. Wrapped around your Saturn finger Is a liquid silver moat, Pointing in time to the kingdom of the rhyme Where you hold the key to every note, We are songs being sung on the tongue of a serpent. And in the firelight I read words That I wish you could have seen But now they’re disappearing Should I read to you before you dream? But I can’t bring myself to wake you No, I can’t bring myself to do that at all. I’m not going to wake you And steal off your healing touch I’ve always got the birds and dawn and the morning to myself I’ve always got the birds and dawn and the morning to myself Oh my Ruby Fruit Sweetheart Hold on, just hold on Tonight you sleep ‘tho tomorrow I keep you ‘til this time be gone And we can live as the king and the queen of the night until we tumble Rolling and scraping through bliss, we are waking the wrath of the Ruby Fruit Jungle I fell asleep to the sound of the rustle And the muscle and the hustle of bats Telling tales of the Scooby shoop fungle And how everybody likes to relax I am high, riding on the noise of their sweet talking Growing warmer in your satin corner Rowing on a silvery boat Heading west to the kingdom of the rhyme Where I hold the hearts of all of the folk I am lines written out of mispelt verses Flying high with a thousand birds Is where I wish that you could have been Now they’re disappearing Can you wake me before I scream I am Queen of dreams but I want you stop them I am Queen of dreams, why don’t you stop them? But he’s not going to wake me And burn out my sleepy blush I’ve always got the birds and the dawn and the morning to myself I’ve always got the birds and the dawn and the morning to myself Oh my Ruby Fruit Sweetheart Hold on, just hold on Tonight you sleep ‘tho tomorrow I keep you ‘til this time be gone And we can live as the king and the queen of the night until we tumble Rolling and scraping through bliss, we are waking the wrath of the Ruby Fruit Jungle ~ O mani, bensa gura hu... ~ We’re not going to wake you And steal all the fruit for ourselves You’ve always got the birds and the dawn and the morning to yourself You’ve always got the birds and the dawn and the morning to yourself Oh my Ruby Fruit Sweetheart Hold on, Just hold on! Tonight you sleep ‘tho tomorrow I’ll keep you ‘til this time be gone Firelight showed sweat, aglitter on your face Firelight showed sweat, aglitter on your face We made it to the top everything stops, In a place where we don’t care. Firelight showed sweat, aglitter on your face

Space is held, and I intend to fill it With an open secret; it’s an open secret And it’s moving, and it’s moving, From the future back to now A feather I see burning In her eyes unblinking And it’s hurting yeah it’s hurting And it’s perfect, oh but how? Oh but how? Fire is in you It may scorch the moth’s wing Still to it he’ll fly to A violet glow enticing Twin flames ever lasting And it’s warming and it’s warming Like a dragon’s draw in breath And now there is no stopping Until this tale is over And it’s dangerous, yeah it’s dangerous But we all endure it’s test Love is ending And to your life your heart may dance depending Do I fall forever? Or shall our skin touch never? See the feather burn forever Burning right between our eyes I haven’t travelled all this far To tell you love is what we are And trap the world in prism clues Til Sun and Moon sing the crimson blues In every breath I breathe your heart translation Of caterpillars into butterflies Explaining is the hardest thing And it’s hard to see when you and me sing constantly A sing sang song of sparkling yin switch yangles From down here you’re a spangled diamond mystery, dearest friend So I wonder why to love you? ‘Cos the end will come again And when the world is at war I am silent And when the world is wise you are singing When you find a clue are you searching? Searching for the words in which you... Know... Gone, Gone, Gone! no, no, no... Why don’t we roll North today Cos we like travelling with our feet dangling Off the back of those bumpy wagons Drawing westward smoke away Till the place here we find out What our tribe is all about Oh such a perfect pattern, can you see? If not retire then to your tents and dreams And I’ll just sit outside and watch the sky Cos dreaming is the hardest thing When moon by day and galaxy by night Portray the secret way We love to dance around the day! And I’ve been to where the Fey was our history And I’ve seen from Cloud Hill our sweet mystery: A sparkless cold wick awaiting Moldavite flickering kiss Never have I been so sure of this Raphael, Raphael Raphael. Reflecting your Queen light Green Mary hey Raphael Two is one Archangel Bless her every magic spell Faith is blue, Hey Lord Michael Cut thou golden Aurora Free to find Uriel Oh, Raphael, Raphael, Raphael Did “Purple Dawns on the Clock” Sing the glass to the rock? Did “Birds of black oh come back” Sing the glass to the rock? Did “Steal this fruit and fly far” Sing the glass to the rock? Did “Purple Dawns on the Clock” Sing the glass to the rock? Raphael, Raphael, Raphael, Reflecting your Queen light Green Mary Raphael Two is one Archangel Bless her every magic spell Two is one Archangel Bless her every magic spell. Often you are so mistaken for the North Star Especially in the morning you wear the mask of a yawning queen (Joked Andromeda) “But you’re much more purple than that” Said the Rock to the Glass “My Broken Friend, before you ascend you reflect what you are yet to mend. And I’m with you til the...”

The Tower at Hunter's Moon' is a journey through the myths of duality via large-scale sonic architecture and meta poems. Tapping into shamanic archetypes, protagonists and pulses of nature these anchors act as eyes and guides to this inner and outer inquiry. From the quiet and contemplative to the riotous and chaotic, the record aims to explore deeply the mystery of what ripples one casts out without knowing.
