Mekong Delta - The Hollow Men

A yearning call I never identified before
Out of the dark, destined for me
Gets louder more and more
A look around, try to escape
But you don't know where to go

"Hear the call"
It sounds inside my head
"You are not like all"
Blandishing my soul
"See the fading star"
Got a sense of dread
"That's from where you are"
Droning echoes in my mind

Shouting silence
Glowing darkness
Final quiteness
Just imagined?

Sightless, unless eyes appear
Existence is illusion

Voices getting closer now
Resistance no solution
Fear is overwhelming me
The nightmare is not over

A shadow falls, a light appears
And suddenly here they are
Called themselves the hollow men
Beholders of the future
Twilight is getting closer now
My mind is full affusion

I can hear the distant call
A yearning just for me
Paralyzed, the storm is setting free
Shapes without a form I see
The colors disappear
A twilight comes
The light now fades away

A vibe, a call for more acceptance than before
Marooned by thoughts
I hear the voice now starts to tell me more
Cloaked in friendly words
I feel, they're puzzling my soul

"Acting for the dark"
It roars inside my head
"You can't fall apart"
Words that hurt my soul
"Remember what you are"
Got a sense of dread
"A creation of our art"
And emptiness spreads out

Shouting silence
Glowing darkness
Final quiteness
Fear arises

Sightless, unless eyes appear
These creatures are illusion
A whispering full of dark intense
Tries offering a solution
Avoid this place, keep far away
This warning may not be broken

The light fades out, they disappear
Like ghosts out of the far

Called themselves the hollow men
Beholders of the future
Can see this much clearer now
This all was no illusion

I can hear the distant call
A yearning just for me
Paralyzed, the storm is setting free
Shapes without a form I see
The colors disappear
A twilight comes
The light now fades away

The hollow men
The hollow men
The hollow men, hollow men, hollow..... men
