"The Gathering" opens our journey with a sacred invitation to enter ritual space. As the first piece in this ceremonial song cycle, it weaves together ancient traditions with contemporary folk arrangements, creating a musical foundation for transformation.

Moving clockwise through the cardinal directions, each verse honors a different elemental energy: the wisdom-carrying winds of the East, the transformative flames of the South, the flowing waters of the West, and the grounding earth of the North. The melody flows like a spiral dance, beginning with simple, chant-like phrases that gradually build as each element adds its voice to the circle.

Strong solo vocal passages carry the Air verse skyward as a gentle acoustic guitar picks up for the Fire verse into dancing flames. Rolling arpeggios create water's flowing movement in the West before deep, grounding tones anchor us in Earth's embrace. The recurring chorus reminds us that we gather "in perfect love and perfect trust," creating a sacred space where transformation becomes possible.

This opening ritual in song form establishes themes and motifs that will weave through the entire cycle, much like casting a circle creates the container for ceremonial work. Through layers of harmony and intentionally crafted arrangements, "The Gathering" invites listeners to step into a space between worlds, where change becomes sacred and transition transforms into celebration.

Lyrics:

Opening Verse (Creating Sacred Space):
"In this space between the worlds
Where veils of time come unfurled
We gather now to honor change
As life and death their dance arrange
Sacred circle, growing strong
Through ritual and sacred song"

East Verse (Air):
"From the East where dawn breaks clear
Where morning winds bring change so near
We call the breath of life to stay
As consciousness prepares its way
Gentle breezes, wisdom's flight
Guide us through this sacred night"

Chorus:
"Between the worlds we gather here
Where past and future disappear
In perfect love and perfect trust
We honor what becomes of us
The circle cast, the space prepared
Sacred moments now are shared"

South Verse (Fire):
"From the South where flames burn bright
Transformation's sacred light
We call the power to release
As bonds of earth begin to cease
Sacred fire, burning true
Light the path we journey through"

Chorus:
"Between the worlds we gather here
Where past and future disappear
In perfect love and perfect trust
We honor what becomes of us
The circle cast, the space prepared
Sacred moments now are shared"

West Verse (Water):
"From the West where waters flow
Where tears and healing currents go
We call the tides of change to sweep
As spirit moves from shallow to deep
Ocean's wisdom, river's grace
Guide us to that timeless place"

Chorus:
"Between the worlds we gather here
Where past and future disappear
In perfect love and perfect trust
We honor what becomes of us
The circle cast, the space prepared
Sacred moments now are shared"

North Verse (Earth):
"From the North where mountains rise
Where earth meets star-filled evening skies
We call the strength of ages past
As new foundations now are cast
Ancient stone and fertile ground
Hold us as the wheel turns round"

Chorus:
"Between the worlds we gather here
Where past and future disappear
In perfect love and perfect trust
We honor what becomes of us
The circle cast, the space prepared
Sacred moments now are shared"

Closing Verse:
"The circle drawn, the space now blessed
Where spirit seeks its final rest
Yet not an ending do we mourn
But celebration of rebirth's dawn
For in this gathering we know
That life eternal continues to flow"

 The Wheels still Turn

everything is said and done
the days, the months, the years .. they run
like the shadows fading with the sun
in the blink of an eye, they’re gone

but with every laugh, and every tear you cry
leaves a mark, a light that never dies
we're just stories told in passing lines
still echoing through time

it was just a moment
in this life
where a memory of you
will be remembered in time

after everything is said and done
the wheels still turn when we are gone
and what you gave, it lives on
in every heart, in every song

hold on close, don’t let go
say the words they need to know
the smallest acts, they tend to grow
its so much more, more than we ever show

and the world keeps turning, turning
with or without our name
it’s the love that keeps on burning, burning
it’s never lost. it will always stay

now everything is said and done
the wheels still turn and you're gone
and what you gave it lives on
in every heart, every song

and with every laugh, and every tear cried
it leaves a mark, a light that never dies
all the stories told in passing lines
still echoing through time

and the world keeps turning, turning
with or without our name
it’s the love that keeps on burning, burning
it’s never lost it will always stay

SOMEDAY:

I missed your call again last night
Left the room lit, said I might
Be back before the morning fell—
But time runs fast when minds dwell

I skipped the party, skipped the rain
Traded home for  the midnight train
Said, “Someday this will mean a lot”—
But someday’s all I ever got
Someday’s all I ever got

Is it worth it just to climb?
If the view don’t share its light
I keep trading depth for height
And leave it all behind

I learned to keep my suitcase near
To say goodbye without the tears
Wrote your name inside a song
Then left before you sang along

I used to dance with both my shoes
Now I move not to lose
Said, “Someday this will mean a lot”—
But someday’s all I ever got
Someday’s all I ever got

Is it worth it just to climb?
If the view don’t share its light
I keep trading depth for height
And leave it all behind

Oh, the calls I didn’t take
The friends I didn’t make
The hands I didn’t hold
For stories never told

Is it worth it just to climb?
If the view don’t share its light
I keep trading depth for height
And leave it all behind
I leave it all behind
I leave it all behind
Someday’s all I ever got
Someday’s all I ever got
I leave it all behind

Someday

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?
