“I think the song fits the season. So Sang the Hollow lives between a dream and our waking nightmares. It’s like a seance with ghosts of your own creation. It’s one of those that were a very long time in the making, with the main guitar part having been kicked around since I entered the work force....
[Verse 1]
The ship left port empty, and empty it remained
So sang the hollow
Like a piece for conversation it would drift upon the waves
So sang the hollow
[Chorus]
If you want, I ask them to turn off the lights
It's easier that way — just don't look in their eyes
There are things in life you need to know
The damage that we'll do will always show
[Verse 2]
The figure stood in darkness and asked us for our names
So sang the hollow
One of us was summoned, and one arrived too late
So sang the hollow
[Chorus]
If you want, I ask them to turn off the lights
It's еasier that way — just don't look in their eyеs
There are things in life you need to know
The damage that we'll do will always show
[Outro]
Run away
Run away
