Hallow Hills!

Hallow!

[Intro] [soft, ethereal woodwind melody fades in] Psh-taka-psh-psh.. Gone... so far away... Where did they go?

[Verse 1] I remember the laughter in the summer rain Before the shadows whispered a different name You turned your back for a moment’s grace And the mist moved in to take their place No footprints left in the morning dew Just a ring of mushrooms where the garden grew.

[Pre-Chorus] [Bass gets heavy and pulsing] The silver bells are ringing from the ancient mound A shimmering light that makes no sound We’re calling out into the deep of the night But the forest is swallowing the candlelight!

[Chorus] [Grand, explosive pop production] Stolen away to the hollow hill Where the time is frozen and the heart is still! The fey have taken what we used to hold Trading our young for a crown of gold Lost loves wandering the twilight glade Caught in a bargain that the spirits made Oh, give ‘em back, don't let the fire go cold!

[Verse 2] I see your face in the reflection of the stream But you’re just a ghost in a changeling’s dream They promised forever in a land of green The most beautiful world that you’ve ever seen But the fruit is bitter and the wine is lies I can see the glamour in your emerald eyes!

[Bridge] [Music drops to a low, rhythmic stomp with Gregorian-style chanting] Don't eat the honey, don't drink the salt... It’s not your mercy, it’s not your fault... NO! They’re dancing in a circle of stone! THEY’RE NEVER COMING HOME! Never coming home…

[Chorus] Stolen away to the hollow hill Where the time is frozen and the heart is still! The fey have taken what we used to hold Trading our young for a crown of gold Lost loves wandering the twilight glade Caught in a bargain that the spirits made.

[Verse 3] I hear the laughter echoing through the hall But the shadows are stretched too long against the wall You’re dancing in slippers made of silver and glass While a hundred years in the world outside pass The music is a fever, the rhythm is a trap And there’s no way back on this twisted map I’m calling your name but the wind blows it thin How do I save you from the state you’re in?

[Outro] [Music fades to a single, lonely synth pad] Just a memory in the mist... I'll find you...

The fey... the fey... [Final sharp, breathy exhale] Hah!

Shrine!
