Hollow Man

[00:02.53] We are the empty men

[00:09.03] We are the masked men

[00:12.19] Resting together

[00:16.20] Cavity stuffed with straw

[00:21.34] Figure without shape

[00:25.33] Shadow without nuance

[00:28.47] Impotent power, the empty men

[00:32.48] Movement without action

[00:39.36] All who have gone with true vision

[00:43.27] To death's higher dwelling may recall us here

[00:46.91] Not as damned, destructive ghosts

[00:50.55] But simply as the empty men

[00:54.56] Simply as the masked men

[00:59.05] This is the lost land

[01:02.70] This is the desert land

[01:09.85] Here the graven images are built

[01:13.49] Here is the place they will attain

[01:15.62] The entreaty of a lost soul's desire

[01:17.76] Beneath the glimmer of a dying sun

[01:20.01] Can it be so in death's second domain?

[01:22.27] No longer asleep

[01:23.67] Lonely in the moment of our greatest compassion

[01:25.91] Arms that would embrace

[01:27.30] Raised in supplication to toppled altars

[01:29.45] Where have the eyes gone?

[01:33.11] One finds no eyes here

[01:36.49] In this empire of dying suns

[01:40.15] In this vacant kingdom

[01:43.28] This scattered realm of all fallen empires

[01:46.20] In this final assembly

[01:47.59] We stumble together and are silent

[01:49.84] Collected on the shores

[01:50.99] Of the river of disturbance

[01:51.89] The barren men

[01:56.80] And for one moment, the eyes reappear

[02:00.69] As the eternal Son moving broken stone

[02:02.83] In this land, this land of death's shadow

[02:09.73] The dying wish

[02:13.48] Of an empty man

[02:17.72] The hollow man
