Enter the Hunter

Within the Gate of Orion
Our hearts glow
never fading
Bright as the stars, our pale skin shines
and we connect the stars with dotted lines
Love in our hearts and Warmth in our bodies
the Warrior grants us and our crystal hearts entry
Immediately,
we’re surrounded by walls of sound, lights, and colour.
We are his children, inside his body, making our way into his being
Beauty overcomes all
and the constellations are slowly guiding us along
Towards our home and our Mother

Interlocked
03:29
|
|||
|
Relief and peace
they flood our souls with welcome
and take their hold in head and heart
We look at each other
and see individual beauty
radiating from inside ourselves
We find love within the other
and our eyes are filled with tears and lights
|

Euphoria
05:14
|
|||
|
We float on past the stars and planets
While our hands never loosen their grip
and in a grand display, the systems of Space
ever spin in their time and place.
Wintery petals from some avid wind
fly past our bodies
and yet we still charge ever-forward
towards the core of the Warrior
our minds are filled with the silence of Drones
as a bright emotion fills our bones.

Dreaming of Home
05:52
|
|||
|
It was only a matter of time before we started to grow homesick
The Intergalactic and Individual Euphoria didn’t stick
The place we were missing wasn’t our true home, but our past home where we were physically born
We held each other inside our arms and wept within his Belt.
Stars could not steal away our gaze at this moment
We picked up ourselves, brushed the stardust from our shoulders.
We continued on... and on, allowing the flaming spheres to embrace us
to hold us in our pain.

Onward Float, Pt. I
06:10
|
|||
|
Bravery now shines from our bodies
with determination to reach our destination,
driving our hearts deep into the cosmos
Hands hold tight to each other
and the stars light the way into
Orion’s Core
as we drift endlessly
The Speed of Light is rushing past our ears
and calling us to continue our journey
Yet, an eerie sound emits itself onto us
and calls us to examine ourselves
on the inside
But we push past the noise
in a panic to find ourselves
inside the true Home
We eventually stopped our ragged space travel
and dove inside of our hearts of crystal and light
|

Internal Beauty
08:57
|
|||
|
Bright teal was on the surface
but we pushed underneath it
and saw a blinding
yet warming Light
After a short time of fearing it, we accepted the Bright
and went deeper...
There was that eerie sound again
permeating through the glow and snow
Hidden Beauty so divine glittered and sparkled
Our past was part of us, but it was not who we truly were.
We pushed ourselves more inside our hearts
and found our True Selves
Shining as the Universes do so well
We could not hold it in, so we emerged from our meditation and let it out
All became brighter, our path was more clear
Our hearts had found their way, and we had no more fear.

Crystallik Strangers
06:08
|
|||
|
Mysterious beings
they came floating by
telling us secrets by which all came to hide
Our energy was chilled by the evils
the strangers spoke of
Whole civilizations and planets sunk into Darkness
People became shadow
evil was born
Ancient twistings of old
were coming our way
unless we could destroy
or keep them at bay
The messengers continued on
glowing and mysterious as when they first came.
We continued our journey, we were approaching New Sleep.

Spiraling Stars
03:38
|
|||
|
Constellations began to spin in a circle around our vision
Stars were spinning out of control
and into a dark hole
our hands tightened as if to brace ourselves
for what was to come
an ominous cloud formed from the star-speed
and we were being pulled in by something...
something calmly erratic...
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
The black pulled us in
Surrounded our bodies in purest space
We were protected by our hearts
from being obliterated by Non-Existence
The chill of space was returning slow
and we were being covered in whitest snow.
|

Negative Light
07:14
|
|||
|
Melancholy was drowning our senses
from purest black darkness
Recovery was only returning slowly
The aftermath was beyond comprehension
But a mysterious Bear soon relieved our tension.
His arctic fur chased away the emptiness
our shoulders and burdens were lifted.
The Guardians’ song was breaking through it all,
growing so strongly through the sound and colour wall.

Onward Float, Pt. II
04:18
|
|||
|
The Edge was so close
we were almost there
Anticipation was brimming from our souls
The last of space-sound was moving back and forth in our heads
proving we had made it out not dead
The song of Orion was fading into the Drone of the 1st Guardian
We heard the water of ocean welcoming us; it was time to go.
This was the end of the Edge.
|

12. |
Into the Water
01:17
|
|||
|
Dipping our toes in
We were brought under the same waves of the Koi
Pisces was our new guide
so without a cry and with no sky
we all dove under the surface
and welcomed our Sparkling Purpose.
