dan halloway
way down in the hollow where the sun never shines
there's a people living in darkness most of their lives
the night dreams and the terrors live inside their minds
trading safety for the gun and the truth for the lie
where the rain and the lightning run swift thru the trees
and the changes in the weather are swifter indeed
with a world that might end you think that it might
and the death that you have won't be one that you like
with a world that's gone crazy its easy to see
the war between brothers is desperate indeed
so you pray to your god for the mantle of change
to scatter the darkness for all further days
way down in the hollow where the sun never shines
there's a people living in darkness most of their lives
you pray to your god for the mantle of change
to scatter the darkness for all further days
