OCTOBER-THE HUNTER MOON

[Intro] instrumental [Verse 1] The lean season cannot be evaded. We read the signs and prepare. We feel a cold dread permeate All nature, in field and lair Bounty bends to gathering, A last feasting, to prepare for ration. Cold winds blow outside the walls, Of domiciles, cocooning passion. [Chorus] Full moon of all hunters, You glory in an uncertain sky, Veiled by willowy mists. And rolling storm clouds on high. Hunter's moon rules these nights, Meal by our fire's Hearth. Were thankful for This bounty from the Earth. [Verse 2] The hunter crouched, lies in wait, Strikes quick and then it's done. For its life, giving thanks A nod to ancient wisdom. The life essence seeps into, The dark, hallowed ground Feeds roots holding Spring's promise. As snow begins to mound. [Chorus] Full moon of all hunters, You glory in an uncertain sky, Veiled by willowy mists. And rolling storm clouds on high. Hunter's moon rules these nights, Meal by our fire's Hearth. Were thankful for This bounty from the Earth. [Bridge] Glassy rains chase tremulous thunder, From storms stirring impatient winds, That spawn urgent sudden gusts, Cacaphony clatters the dry raspy limbs. The Hunger, will first whimper, Then whine and snarl Drawing out the hunter, To end it before it hunts and howls [Chorus] Full moon of all hunters, You glory in an uncertain sky, Veiled by willowy mists. And rolling storm clouds on high. Hunter's moon rules these nights, Meal by our fire's Hearth Were thankful for This bounty from the Earth.
