Cacciatore di Notte

Verse 1

Shadowed sunrise, my shell gleams

Barely greased gears grind in green light

Soft sand, sweet harmony

Crooning, crawling, slow as syrup

Palm leaves, polka-dotted clouds

Tail flicks in the reeds

Old shell, half smile, sudden sneer

I see you, Chita, slipping

Crimson claws grip broken branches

Baritone bellow slips to a hush

Skipping, spiraling saxophones

Accordion sighs, slow-motion rage

Golden haze, your paws prance

Skipping, scurrying, soft in the distance

I wait, I watch, I want

Tortoise teeth flash—unseen

[Stop-on-a-dime

200 BPM Death Metal Frenzy]

I chase

You run

Unforgiving sun

Blood boils in my battered veins

Polyrhythmic pounding, pulse quick

Guttural groans erupt—Go! Go!

Chita, cheater, the game is done

You dash, I lunge, you leap—in vain

Snarling nightmare panorama

Shell cracks, grass splits, dust rises

Unrelenting

Unrelenting

Unrelenting

I am coming

I am coming

I am

Insides boil, mechanical mind awake

Carnival chaos, claws clack concrete

Transition: Balkan Folk Bridge

Accordion spins

Spin

Spin

Baritone bounces, Balkan wind

Flecks of fear, flickers of fur

Three times round the crooked tree

Lynched moon, night race, old enemy

I crawl, I croon, hungry for hurry

Sunshine Pop Interlude

Twisting, twirling, two-step breeze

Soft chorus of mockingbirds

Maybe you

Maybe you

Maybe you will slow

Maybe not

Saxophone & Surf Rock Breakdown

Frantic, frantic, frantic again

Sax slashes, surf trembles

Tremolo tides crash

Slow, then sudden

Quick, then stall

Everything changes

Nothing at all

Atmospheric Musique Concrète Outro: Mechanical Noise, Whispered Italian Dialogue

(Sussurri tra i fili d'erba)

(Segreto fra la terra e il vento)

(Riposo o rincorro—chi vince davvero?)

Mechanical grind, gears squeal, slow fade

Un occhio mi guarda

Una risata spezzata

Chi è la preda?

Chi è il predatore?

Final silence
