Hunt 17:08
[Part 1: Fox and the Sun] I'm the lady dressed in blood Twilight sun and Autum leaves Ranger of the regal land (the Wood!) Vulpes Vulpes, crowned by trees! And the Hare will be my prey Trophy of my sacred hunt Old tree stumps will be the altar (its doom!) I will spill its blood upon! Look! Now the night is upon us So I prepare to became one With the shadows of nocturnal darkness (Shadows of the night!) [Part 2: Fox and the Moon] I'm walking silently in the Forest Not my steps nor my breath can be heard Night air, so pure and beautiful As this landscape of sleeping pines, flowers and birds (x2) Now I see a hole there, in the ground I feel life, something's breathing (sleeping!) I'll wait here for dawn to come (for me to kill!) Sacred for me... and for my children [Part 3: The Hare is Caught!] I'm joyfully feasting on the Hare Hunting ritual finally done Pinecones are so beautiful now, red in blood! But wait, the Sun is back, Day is here I'ts time for me to return at my lair too In the heart of the woods My children are waiting... [Part 4: The Lair] (Instrumental)

Her Wood 09:06
Throne of roots, leaves and trees There sits proud animal Queen! Red as blood of her kin White as shining majesty! Crown of wind on her head Extended over the domain Of Nature, (the) grand reign Reigning beautiful for eternity Every rock, tree, flower and fall Has the eyes and the ears of the Fox! Black mouth will punish the fool Who'll usurp the reign of her Wood! Her black paws are guarding the path That bring lymph to the heart of Earth, Her red tail is pointing the way That leads fool ignorant astray! Black mouth will punish the fool Who'll usurp the reign of her Wood!

[Part 1: Sunshower] (instrumental) [Part 2: The Procession] Rain is shining bright under a majestic sun Surrounding all of us marching in procession In the mighty Woods, by Will'o'wisps adorned Holy great event of the deceitful ones (our) Tail swinging like flags, in the whispering Wind That fills us with joy for the magic and sacred Gathered between the pines we come to celebrate The solemn Foxes union, Kitsune no Yomeiri! From Forest to shrine the right way is shown As we light it up with our souls and lanterns We walk the secret path, hidden among the trees To reach the great palace within ancient mists Hidden to Daimyo's eyes, hidden to every man Our serpent of lights and fires, enchanting the mountain, Is bringing groom and bride, into rich carriages We finally reached the shrine, it's time to unite in joy and dancing! [Part 3: Ceremonial Dance] "Everybody! In the Fire! Dance! Yeah!" [Part 4: The Bride, Veiled in Sun and Water] Look! Here (she) comes, here comes the beautiful bride She's veiled in sun and water He's waiting for her (x2) [Part 5: United!] Today Nature Witnessed (the) holy magic bond Sealed inside the shrine of the Kitsune's order Solemnity in the air ignites the Will'o'wisps As all rites are done, we descend back into forest (and) Rain's still shining bright under a majestic sun Surrounding all of us marching in procession In the mighty Woods, by Will'o'wisps adorned We'll se the offspring of the deceitful ones dancing in! [Part 6: The Intruder] "Hark! Hark! We're not safe! I saw a man walking in the Woods! I saw him wearing weird modern clothes, and holding strange recording devices... in his hands. Someone told him. He came to see... or maybe to steal... or maybe to kill! He's an intruder! We have to get rid of him... as fast as possible!" "Confound you!" [Part 7: You Will See Us Again!] So it ends, the wedding procession! The spell has been cast, the foxes united! But Wait! Don't you worry if you missed it! Just look at the sky, and wait for the next Sunshower! You will see us again! (x2)
