The Reckoning - 2003
Emptiness consuming me
Head in hands
I can hardly speak
Looking for solitude
Lost in humanity
Slow knowledge leads to suffering
A constant quest
An endless dream
Searching for inner peace
Hidden so deep in me
Don't wanna be a hollow man
Ain't gonna be the hollow man
Don't wanna be a hollow man
Ain't gonna be the hollow man
Sadness comes knocking constantly
Filling up my eyes
For all to see
Peace will come some day
I pray that it finds a way
Darkness caressing my mind and soul
My spirit's rejecting
I'm feeling cold
Emptiness goes away
Flees with the night and days
Don't wanna be a hollow man
Ain't gonna be the hollow man
Don't wanna be a hollow man
Ain't gonna be the hollow man
I'll rise up
Like the phoenix from the ashes
I'll float away
With wisdom
I turn away
I turn away
Hollow man
Find yourself some other friend
Don't wanna be a hollow man
Ain't gonna be the hollow man
Don't wanna be a hollow man
Ain't gonna be the hollow man
