about

Our planet spins at an angle which never loses its 'integrity' (apart from the odd 'wobble'). Makes me question our integrity from time to time .. "Planet endangered" ..
Recorded by Koos Turenhout, with buds & band members at the time, Nelson Barbosa on bass & Karen Rutter on drums.

lyrics

Axis mundi, centre of meaning,
perfectly balanced angle of learning
Axis mundi, held in a trance
of magical motion, a mystical dance
Axis mundi, constant revolving,
life after life slowly evolving
Axis mundi, this is our planet
of fire, water, air & of granite

Axis mundi ... planet endangered!

This wonder of wonders cast by the sun,
high into heaven
And lovingly hung by the hands of creation,
for worlds to observe
Divine inspiration - and humbly to serve

All that we need is here in this place,
a life we destroy we can never replace
This delicate fabric, our very design
depends upon how our lives intertwine
The ant, the whale, creatures unseen
- the independence of each living being

Burned by our anger, spoiled from neglect
No hope for peace if we have no respect for life
While silently spinning,
this jewel in space could soon become
A desolate place ...

Axis mundi ... planet endangered!
