lyrics

The Hollow Hills

There's a legend....................throughout this land,
running deep throughout this land,
when the iron awoke,
the old ones
entered the hollow hills.
Centuries passed like flowers
and the springs still bear the names
of the sleeping ones who dream
the world within.

Now the people sit and picnic where the gods once made love,
and the waterfalls sound an echo around the hollow hills,
and some hear those voices,
and others say they must be mad,
for listening to the dreaming
from within.

So some will fill the world with action,
Some will dream the ancient dream.
Some will make their mark on the landscape,
some walk hollow hills.
There's a storm in the making,
there's a path in the sun,
at the crossroads there's a voice,
at the crossroads there's a choice,
at the crossroads there’s a voice ............
from within.
