Echos of the Hollow

Описание: LYRICS

The fog is rolling thick across the Cheat
Where the river curves and the mountain shadows meet
A flicker in the pines where no light should be
Is it just the wind or something watching me
They say the spirits walk the old coal lines
Whispering secrets through the tangled vines
of a town that disappeared in forty-nine
Leaving only rusted rails and broken signs

Oh West Virginia, where the ghosts remain
In the sudden chill and the falling rain
From the Mothman's wings to the miner's light
We're never truly lonely in the mountain night
Yeah we're never truly lonely in the mountain night

Down in the tunnels where the air grows cold
There are stories that the living never told
of the Black Dog running on a moonless road
And the heavy weight of a restless load
In the stone-walled cells where the silence screams
They haunt the hallways of our deepest dreams
A phantom train whistles through the New River Gorge
Tempered in the fire of a spectral forge

Oh West Virginia, where the ghosts remain
In the sudden chill and the falling rain
From the Mothman's wings to the miner's light
We're never truly lonely in the mountain night
Yeah we're never truly lonely in the mountain night

It’s in the creak of the porch and the snap of the twig
In the songs we sing and the holes we dig
A heritage of shadows, a legacy of mist
A land that the supernatural has kissed
From the Greenbrier halls to the Tygart shore
They’re knocking softly on the cellar door

Oh West Virginia, where the ghosts remain
In the sudden chill and the falling rain
From the Mothman's wings to the miner's light
We're never truly lonely in the mountain night
Yeah we're never truly lonely in the mountain night

The mountain knows their names
In the embers of the flames
Sleep tight tonight
In the pale moonlight
West Virginia, keep your secrets tight
