"The Fox" features Cedric Noel on the main vocals as well as co-writer. Full EP release date July 7th.
Four Stories EP is a collaborative effort that brought to life four stories entwined, each of which with a meaning twofold.
lyrics
The willow weeps for the fox alone,
It's been many days since he's been home
By the spring, it grabbed him there,
Iron teeth on matted hair
At the top of the hill there lived a boy
His dreams filled with past joy.
He wanted not, but to run and play
Perhaps he'd see his friend today
Their summers spent on mountain tops
or hiding in fields of farmer's crops
The fox now struggled with all his might,
but the trap remained unbroken.
Now, through the woods the farmer walked
He carried, a gun to tend his flock
Remembering, how his children did play,
Would the fox, meet his end this way?
The trap is sprung, the fox now flees
He's having his taste, of sweet release
Soon he would, return to the farm
Back into, the child's arms
Now stumbling through on phantom limb
the fox decided to burrow
Now, through the woods the boy walked
Looking, for a sign of the fox
Finding, crimson trails of despair
Not losing hope, he didn't shed a tear.
Emerging through, a foggy haze
overwhelmed, a deep malaise
The final task, returning home
is it the same, as he had known
Now the fox and his family
Are no longer estranged.
