The Garden ~ Hollow Moon

by Oli Spleen

1.
The Garden 03:41
Once I dreamed of a garden Whose fountains brimmed with wine Whose emerald hills and pastures rolled With fruit on every vine Whose swans were white as ivory Whose harvests ripe and sweet For all around these beauteous grounds Exquisite things to eat With the wine came inspiration And the food enriched my soul A great future stretched before me And I ran and reached each goal And my soul was high on dreaming And my heart knew only love A great future stretched before me And the sky was bright above But now the soil is poisoned The fountains swim with blood And the swans necks lay all broken Among the rotting food And the sky is thick with darkness And the plants know only night And have wilted in the winter At the dying of the light For my soul is cold and wretched And my heart knows only hate It has hardened to a boulder Of a tremendous weight Now the poison’s my addiction I have frightened all my friends My soul was once a garden But all summers have to end

Hollow Moon 05:00
I gaze upon a hollow moon And doubt all I held dear A dark cloud is descending And this world is filled with fear We’re set adrift upon a sea Of everybody else And who of us knows how to play The cards that we’ve been dealt So could it be this is the flood These are the final days We dredge the remnants from the mud Of what hope may remain The failings of the fathers Soon will suffocate our sons Oh let the deluge wash and cleanse The earth of all we’ve done What have we done The hate and fears of all the years Spread like a blood disease Hate to divide and conquer Fear to bring us to our knees No end to this creeping terror People fighting fear with fear No finest hour, just gravest error All hope slowly disappears As we manifest this misery And make all hell break loose Oh lead me to the hanging tree And fasten round the noose We manifest this misery Oh take me to the hanging tree I gaze upon a hollow moon I gaze upon a hollow moon
