Empty Glens Lyrics by Runrig

Proterra

0

[verse 1]
Looking out on all that's been
And all that is and all that's beyond time
I close my eyes in isolation

[verse 2]
Here's where the word was sown
And all that's grown and all that's passed like ghosts
Through the child to Highland generations

[Chorus]
Now we walk in empty glens
Rushes blowing in the wind
A voice that's calling you again
To come back home
Where have they gone, where have they gone
Gone to illusion everyone
The darkest heart, the pride of man
Will walk alone

[verse 3]
Science breaking down the door
And all the hordes go rushing through for more
The thrills of the world, and all her idols

[verse 4]
Oh, here the water washed us clean
A deeper peace for all our keenest sins
Washed in these clear, clear crystal fountains

[Chorus]
Now we walk in empty glens
Rushes blowing in the wind
A voice that's calling you again
To come back home
Where have they gone, where have they gone
Gone to illusion everyone
In the darkest heart, the pride of man
Will walk alone

Now we walk in empty glens
Rushes blowing in the wind
A voice that's calling you again
To come back home
Where have they gone, where have they gone
Gone to illusion everyone
In the darkest heart, the pride of man
Will walk alone

[coda]
Alone
Will walk alone
[?], follow the stars
The pride of man, all gone to illusion
