Lyrics
[slow intro]
No hollow
No gift
No moon eye
None left
You walk a while a way
From Goonland, not so sweet
Our home has yet to pay
For all your gods' defeat
[drum break]
[guitar riff]
[chorus]
The Hollow man would say
The Gifted man would pray
And even after all
There's nothing left but gray
[verse 1]
Obsidian bore the brunt
Of all the things you want
So none would have to starve
And all the men could hunt
The vessel contained the truth
Grains to feed the youth
No hungry souls could sleep
Without bread crumb under tooth
[chorus]
The Hollow man would say
The Gifted man would pray
And even after all
There's nothing left but gray
[guitar solo]
[verse 2]
Go through the grass at night
The sounds you hear will write
Their stories you can play at home
And inspire godlike might
The final note from me
Is fastest found at sea
Sail upon the little twigs
And at the end you'll be...
[soft chorus outro]
The Hollow man within
The Gifted man that's free of sin
So finally you see
You are the one who will...
win!
[a capella driving chant]
Hollow!
Gift!
Hollow!
Gift!
Hollow!
Gift! (Hollow!)
Hollow! (Gift!)
Gift!! (Hollow!!)
[synth and guitar solo]
[verse 3]
You'll rise above the rest
A seraph's final test
Is given only by himself
To build and bear his crest
The wonders will be made
Through waters will we wade
Embracing every bounty that
Is found in every trade!
[chorus]
The Hollow man within (Rah!)
The Gifted man that's free of sin
So finally you see (Rah!)
You! Will! Win!
The Hollow man within (Rah!)
The Gifted man that's free of sin
So finally you see (Rah!)
You! Will! Win!
[instruments end]
Rise, Seraph!
So finally you see
You are the one who will...
Win!
[clear refrain]
[verse 4]
Deign to raise your banners high
Unite to fight together by
Entrusting fellow Seraphs to
Join in your reasons why
The resonating sound and tones
Bring respite to your healing bones
Celebrate your holy days
It's true you're not alone!
[clear vocals only]
The Hollow man within
The Gifted man that's free of sin
So finally you see
You are the one who will...
[solo]
win...
[outro]
Rise, Seraph.
