HOLLOW MEN
by Korleone The Steel Hammer
Hollow words of hollow men
Shallow hearts buried in shallow graves
The hollow bones of shallow men
When we follow thrones in astonishment
Wealth, Power and the Punishment of sins
With the reputations of fallen and tarnished men
Tactics of diversion, division and half decisions
Illusions of permission, election and submission
Then we all grow up to follow them
Formed and fashioned in the aura of corruption
We’re trained to follow them into consumption
The trained leaders of tomorrow barely even function
As sons, daughters, mothers fathers brothers sisters
This is what we can to look forward to
Unless a flash of brilliant magnanimous humanity sweeps
through the nations
Yet there is hope in the eyes of an infant, the steps of a
toddler
That we will get it right, set it right and see it more
clearly in the dead of night
Many say there was more light
In generations before us
More fight in generations before us
More right in generations before us
I tell you we shall rise with more substance than those before
us
These hollow men shall fall like ashes before us
When darkness pervades the lands and the world can’t ignore
us
This is just a love-letter to those who believe in a better
world
And better things for us
These are scattered verses, let children sing a chorus
I am just a voice crying out in the wilderness
Greater men shall rise after us
Even if we die in the wilderness
