The Empty Valley

A standalone track that came to life during the writing phase for "The Hollow Story", but could not fit the main record. It provides a glimpse into the Valley which used to be the home for Hollow, and their friends & family.

Lyrics

Vines crawl
All along the dying trees
Dew drops
Collecting on the leaves

Embers
Carried by the gentle breeze

In the fire reborn
In the fire reborn
Hollow words tell no lies
Hollow words tell no lies


Heather
Climbing up the broken walls
The ruins
Buried 'neath the blooming sprawl

Their towers
Have long ago been brought to fall

Stone by stone undone
Stone by stone undone
Hollow words tell no lies
Hollow words tell no lies


Hills cast
Their shadows, dull and grey
Old roots
Keep these metal arms at bay

The rain
Will wash them away

To the threshold beyond
The blue threshold beyond
Hollow words tell no lies
Hollow words tell no lies


Wind
Catch the branches as they fall
Children
Captivated by the bird's call

The Flames
Will cleanse them all

Until they grow again
Until they grow again
Hollow words tell no lies
Hollow words tell no lies
Back to the top
