Verse 1 Down where the cypress shadows fall, I hear the mountain spirit call. Dust is driftin’ in the light, Guidin’ me through endless night. Verse 2 Every soul has a demon near, Whisperin’ truths we’re meant to hear. Carryin’ secrets carved in bone, No one walks this path alone. Chorus Oh, the hollow knows my name, Keeps my heart through fire and rain. Lantern burnin’, faint but true, Lead me where the worlds break through. Verse 3 Iron sky and silver thread, Voices of the lost and dead. Children born with stars inside, Seekin’ doors the fates can’t hide. Chorus Oh, the hollow knows my name, Keeps my heart through fire and rain. Lantern burnin’, faint but true, Lead me where the worlds break through. Bridge Across the vale, the angels cry, The witches sing, the spectres fly. But I will hold the line tonight, My soul was made to walk this fight. Chorus (soft, reverent) Oh, the hollow knows my name, Keeps my heart through fire and rain. Lantern burnin’, faint but true, Lead me where the worlds break through. Outro (gentle, hymn-like) Down in the hollow, dark and deep, I’ll guard the truth, the stars I’ll keep. Till the dawn breaks, I will go— With my lantern in the hollow.
