HOLLOW LYRICS

1. Vlad

Sold as a slave, the prince returned, brave,
Starring down at his father's grave,
Crying revenge!

Raise our banners high,
Feed them fear and sorrow,
Desecrate the earth and father it with horror.

Raise our banners high,
Feed them fear and sorrow,
Desecrate the earth and father it with horror.

Twenty thousand dead, forest of the impaled,
Savage king ruled with and iron hand,
Prosperity!

Raise our banners high,
Feed them fear and sorrow,
Desecrate the earth and father it with horror.

Drink the blood of life,
Let crows feast on the morrow,
Let your bodies die and glory fill the hollow.

Raise our banners high,
Feed them fear and sorrow,
Desecrate the earth and father it with horror.

Drink the blood of life,
Let crows feast on the morrow,
Let your bodies die and glory fill the hollow.

2. Landscape

Gray, and brittle,
Now shunned,
This blasted heath.

Once, fields of green and bountifulness,
Grew, trees and crops, profusely.
Up, in the sky, through the darkness,
Came star of death, unearthly.

Brown, meteor, mound from space,
Wasting away in the air.
Crops started growing again,
But bitter in acid in taste.
Tainted, the water in the well,
Poison, the colour out of space,

Out of space!

Nothing but ash, nothing but death,
Naught but the fear, the people's dread.

Nothing but ash, nothing but death,
It draws people near, and consumes them.

Gray, and brittle,
Now shunned,
This blasted heath,
This blasted heath!

3. A New Life

Rise of the carnage,
Price for all knowledge,
Strife, everlasting,
Dawn of a new age.

Since the beginning of time, man has fought his peers.
Discovery of fire light, a flint is all we need.

Evolution endowed us with the gift of speech,
But fast are we to use our tongue and decimate the weak.

Science came through for our race, and changed the way we live,
Science came through for our wars, plutonium was the key.

One day, as it was foretold, a child will come to be,
From our mother Gaïa's womb, and set the people free.

Freed from all they endured,
A new life awaits thee all.

A new life awaits thee all,
A new life awaits.

Rise of the carnage,
Price for all knowledge,
Strife, everlasting,
Dawn of a new age.

Freed from all they endured,
A new life awaits thee all.

A new life awaits thee all,
A new life awaits.

Rise of the carnage,
Dawn of a new age.

4. Snow

The date: September 2nd 1930
We sailed from Boston harbor, leaving eagerly

A quest of knowledge do we crave

Mustered for the occasion were men of righteous stance
Nineteen men of skill and I, with inquiring minds

Towards the south pole do we sail

Set foot two months later on the continent
The explorations have begun, the mountains soon in sight

Unknown, the terror that awaits

Walked upon these peaks for miles
The wind, it blows relentlessly
The loss of men and what we find
As madness sets its sight on me

At the mountains
Fangs of ice and fear
Hide in silence
Caves that echo evilly

Lost in ice and cold
Our Hell's made of snow

Upon returning to the camp, a grim discovery
We found our base and equipment were destroyed utterly

Our comrades' bodies torn to shreds

It seems we'd found a species yet to be known to man
Leathery skin, with tentacles and horrid, star-shaped heads

In fear and wonder, we dissect

As we explored their dwelling, a city–tomb of ice
Carvings in the walls told of its aeonian history

Realize an Old One still dwells here

All this is too much for normal men to bear
Danford's mind has failed
Escape, our only thought, whilst running through the haze
Fleeing things unnamed

Escape, our only thought, whilst running through the haze
Fleeing things unnamed

Unnamed!

Ran among this maze for miles
The stench, it grows infernally
The loss of faith from what we found
As madness firms its grasp on me

At the mountains
Fangs of ice and fear
Awakened Elder
Yog-Sothoth pursuing me

Fled from ice and cold
Our Hell's made of snow
