Prayer

pray to the mother / life giver life taker
pray to the mother / earth shaker rain maker
pray to the mother / may she love us true
welcome us into her hearth / make a home for me and you
together / forever

Wives

we were in a new town / two ends of the same street
in the middle was a crossroad / and that is where we'd meet
under the bubblegum tree / beside the stone walled church
that is where we would agree / to be
each others blessing and each others curse
on the sunset beach / on the pacific fringe
our tears drop into the ocean / staring out at oil rigs
we down our simple times / under the cover of night
and that is where we would agree / to be
each others compass and each others light

Albatross
04:08
|

turn your face to ocean breeze
what floats above and hides beneath
a plastic island in the sea
testament to human greed
around that junkyard in the sea
the birds fly over hungrily
they eat the island in the sea
become their own mortality
instead of the cross
the albatross around my neck was hung
thick sea fog of history cannot hide the squawking beaks
the haunting sound of beating wings
the sceptre song the sea bird sings

Ignoring the Problem
02:54
|
|||
aren't you sickened by this waste
while people starve / don't you think it's cruel?
does it make you sick that you won't change
because you need the poor to rule?

calling to the sisters / calling to the mother
calling to the universe / calling to you

HEX Wellington, New Zealand
New Zealand-based rock duo HEX are Kiki Van Newtown and Jason Erskine. Brimming with frustration, imagery, and verve, their
music deals in subversion: a discordant, electric experience under the umbrella of sonic twilight.
“HEX calls its sound "witch-rock," and damned if it doesn't sound like witch-rock: dark and sinister, gritty and ethereal, muscular and feminine” NPR SXSW 2018 Hottest 100
