The Wild Hunt

Tonight, so young, the wolves asleep Be mine, even when I'm gone Then, everywhere you run Be strong, and promise you'll remember me Weathered in the sun Weathered in the sun

Good Bones 03:47
So they tell me I'm a fool Am I wading in a pool or am I in an old mirage… In my cold garage. Everyone will take a side With the remnants of my pride out somewhere in the desert dunes, Like a lost balloon You could say its just pretend But the counting in my head keeps ticking and it never ends, Like a faithful friend Its the same old tired scene, So I take it you believe in something of a miracle, Wanting something more. If I promised you the world, would you trade your soul for gold and follow in the darkened fog… with the howling dogs. Hear me calling, I'm about to break down falling from the trees, Please come catch me I've got this feeling this things gonna fly We've got good bones to finally build an empire I've got this feeling this things gonna go We've got good bones, to finally make a home And with the eagles soaring wide awake Confide our wings will stand this hurricane I've sold my everything oh can't you see No one can stop us if you'll trust in me I've got this feeling maybe you and I We've got good bones to finally build an empire

Wild Light 04:31
This pending doom, here in my sight there are resting lions, in the hunting night the purest taste was in my mouth we decided then, we would chase it south So i propose we take a chance water in my shoes, soaking wet romance If in my hands, I keep it still maybe it won't lash, maybe it won't kill So wild the lightning ready ready Too blind to get too heady heady On time we keep this steady steady High time we get what's coming to us Chasing the spectrum beating though us So wild the lightning calling to us Oh I don't know what came to be was it chance or fear, that would set me free In mirrored glass, in porcelain cups something i can't catch, something I can't touch Take a stake in the ground you claim to keep, but not for me So you think you can catch what can't be held but not for free

Cove Noises 03:54
All the mayflies dance the air spaces between your wirey hair Oh in the salty tired sea there is constant company And for this I'll have to say Missing me while I'm away Is such a shameful waste of blue all the while I'm next to you All along the shore, This beating in our hearts you can't ignore. So know you aren't alone Don't you turn away the noises in the cove are here to stay Oh I'll be coming hooooooome When the empire wakes at dawn and the screaming waters gone You left your pining on the floor on the lantern's rusted door Through the curtains pulled to side And your eyes now opened wide While the hunted whales are free swimming quietly next to me I'll be coming home, don't turn away, know you aren't alone, I'm here to stay All along the shores the noises call me just beyond the door so much You can't see All along the shores your thinking of me

Young Clover 04:01
How we sink in the thick of your brilliance I don't know how you keep so resilient every night i believe that you're listening don't say I don't…. Oh no, was there something I'm missing I'm fine with phantoms you're kissing everyone just a promise your keeping don't say its not… Lay down your arms and all agree to tangle in the clover sea Tonight, so young, the wolves asleep Be mine, even when I'm gone Then, everywhere you run Be strong, and promise you'll remember me Weathered in the sun Weathered in the sun I know you're bit too tired broad leaves running miles and miles I'd fight for you sister oh don't say I won't. I won't let you fall behind die out let the sunlight blind asphalt til we blister oh don't say i won't
6.
Tell me what you want and I can make it happen, Are you really upside down? I can turn you right side, easy on the upside Make you want to keep me around Sunday make me holy Everything you told me Keeping me an honest man Payday keep me rolling Nothing here was stolen Doing just the best I can. I hear what you're saying anyway Cold hands in the heat No plans to forget the words you say I promise to keep. Underwater listening Someone that your kissing Doesn't have the ears for you Now I'm barely breathing, Underwater weaving Something that'll hold your thoughts Keep them in my pocket Sentimental locket Memorizing, numbers caught. I hear what you're saying So I wasn't listening Know you aren't playing, true I hear what you're saying anyway Cold hands in the heat No plans to forget the words you say I promise to keep.

Dangerlove 04:29
I've come a long way just for you my Danger Love and everything I thought to say thick in my blood I've taken all I can take, no mercy and make no mistake I'll go and put all my faith in you, push comes to shove Oh gone shear and something pretty, black skies over my cities oh my danger love, my danger love Oh blond something San Francisco torn shoes wearing out the disco my danger love, my danger love holds me true We've come a long way you and me, my Danger love and though we often just agree to disagree, I'm giving no more today, don't push it, don't change out your hue I've gone and put all my faith in you, my danger love, Oh gone shear and something pretty these eyes judging by committee oh my danger love, my danger love oh stop trying to be a hero torn shoes wearing out the disco oh my danger love, my danger love holds me true I've given you all, my danger love...

Local fauna flora and my head keeps turnin more and more, I listen, don't hasten Sow it like a seed and find it growing in the weeds and then i'll harvest, no wasting Don't stare, all day. oh working disarray. Don't wait, too long. your legs weren't made to hold these horses … I can hold a candle to explosions we can't handle in the mayhem, so radiant give me something to believe in, break the shackles, set me free, I breathe in, resilience. Don't stare, all day. oh working disarray. Don't wait, too long. your legs weren't made to hold these horses … back So stand. Go stand... Making time to listen is an accident we fall into our boxes, so hollow. Taking time to turn away and lift our heads into the atmosphere. oh, I follow. All these horses and I was made up. Of the forces that made me wake up. lift your head and believe that you can stand

Weathervane 03:52
Storms from the east, moving west. never cease, never fret. Maybe we're running free, taking about you and me. Thinking that you might choke on dandelions in your throat. Once we were lost, never found. stinging wasps, radiant sounds Carry on overhead, striking your cold spring bed Thanking old lucky stars washing your dirty scars. To the east, thick and stare. bitter sweet swells the air. Filling up every lung, quenching your thirsty tongue Looking like you'd turn back, faking my heart attack. Open up your eyes and make me whole. The ravens crying nowhere else to go. Even if we're here until the end. East to west, I've found my flowing friend.

about

Mystical creatures crafting story.
Personified in song and otherworldly experiences.
The Quiet Hounds find themselves amongst the souls, the embers, the lights of a new journey.
A seekers chase, a race to find the questions and to build the answers. The past, the future, the present. They all have their role.
And so the Wild Hunt begins…

A story of hardship, of life and of love. The weary traveler’s tale can only be sung. Though the cities have yearned, the path has been long and the wanderer takes on a life of his own. So listen close for his language is old but his message is burned into the deepest of souls. May you smile or may you cry, be you lifted by the light, share this tale with all kin in sight.
