[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]

Her Wood

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)
