The Hollow Hill

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Deep in the timber where lanterns never reach

Something stirs beneath the moss

Hooves on the roots and a silver-throated call

Branches bend but never break

I followed the flicker past the old stone wall

My torch guttered out at dawn

Pre-Chorus

They say the forest keeps its own

They say the green remembers

Every name we ever gave away

Chorus

Run with the antlered kings tonight

Run till the horns of morning

Run with the antlered kings tonight

We are the wild and the wild is ours

Post-Chorus

Hey-ya hey-ya

Follow the drums

Hey-ya hey-ya

Follow the drums

Verse 2

A woman of bark and a boy made of thorns

Danced a ring around the fire

Her voice was a river his laughter was rain

They crowned me with woven fern

I swore an oath to the hollow hill

And the hollow hill swore back

Pre-Chorus

They say the forest keeps its own

They say the green remembers

Every promise that we traded for the light

Chorus

Run with the antlered kings tonight

Run till the horns of morning

Run with the antlered kings tonight

We are the wild and the wild is ours

Post-Chorus

Hey-ya hey-ya

Follow the drums

Hey-ya hey-ya

Follow the drums

Guitar Solo

Bridge

(Forest) Call the forest

(Forest) Call the forest

(Forest) Call the forest home

Breakdown

Root and stone

Bone and bloom

Root and stone

Bone and bloom

Verse 3

Come winter they vanish come spring they return

Wearing crowns of dripping green

My children will wander the same winding path

And hear the same low drums

So I carved their shapes in the chapel door

So the village would not forget

Pre-Chorus

They say the forest keeps its own

They say the green remembers

Everything the fire tried to burn

Chorus

Run with the antlered kings tonight

Run till the horns of morning

Run with the antlered kings tonight

We are the wild and the wild is ours

Post-Chorus

Hey-ya hey-ya

Follow the drums

Hey-ya hey-ya

Follow the drums
