A haunting, turbulent piece from Susan's stunning album that starts with a chant calling the names of seven planets described in Rudolf Steiner's Occult Science as the seven incarnations of the being known as Earth. Written in a minor key the glissando guitar sends you out into far space and Hilaire Penda's bass line drives the spacecraft on a gorgeous groove.
Saturn Sun Moon Earth Jupiter Venus Vulcan
The geese are flying south again and pulling centre stage
A golden hand to light the scene and turn a winter’s page
A power lies beneath your feet a masterpiece above
It’s a rich man who sees our beauty is our love
Search the skies above and tell me
Why are you waiting for a secret to be told
When the answer lies within you and it finally calls
Can you hear it out in the darkness spinning a tune
That we have heard long before through our
Saturn Sun and Moon
The fruit is heavy on the trees and Mother gathers in
A golden arm to lean upon her bounty can belong
Because we’ve been across a wide terrain
And felt the drought and flood
A journey of a million years recorded in the blood
Search the skies above and tell me
Why are we waiting for a secret to be told
When the answer lies within you and it finally calls
Can you hear it out in the darkness spinning a tune
That we have heard long before through our
Saturn Sun and Moon Moon
Trust in life and see my friend the universe is kind
But still you feed your doubt and say “I can’t this time….”
Search the skies above and tell me
Why are you waiting for a secret to be told
When the answer lies within you and it finally calls
Can you hear it out in the darkness spinning a tune
That we have heard long before through our
Saturn Sun and Moon Moon Moon
The outbreath came and the fireballs grew
We took to the journey and everyone knew
That the solar wind sang a heavenly tune
Foretelling of the time of Saturn Sun and Moon
And we all came tumbling down in time
Here we are on the bottom line
Hello hello where ever you are
I send you my love from near and far
Hello hello hello Hello hello hello
Hello hello hello Hello hello hello
Saturn Sun Moon Earth Jupiter Venus Vulcan
