Hollow Hills - Peter Murphy

Ancient earthwork, fort and barrow

Discreetly hide their secret abodes

The most fearful hide deep inside

And venture not there upon Yuletide

For invasion of their hollow hills

That music hold and Oberon fill

Is surely recommended not

For fear of death, in fear of rot

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

Baleful sound and wild voices ignored

Ill luck, disaster — the one reward

Violated sanctity of supermen’s hills

So sad (hollow hills)

Love lies there still (hollow hills)

So sad (hollow hills)

So sad (hollow hills)

Hollow hills (hollow hills)

Hollow hills (hollow hills)

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

And witches too, and goblins too

The speckled silk

Lament, repent

Oh mortal you (oh mortal you)

So sad (hollow hills), so sad

So sad, so sad…
