Hollow Bone Lullaby

Out past the mill where the creek runs black

Stood a house with no door and no way back

I found a lantern still burning low

Lit by hands that the earth

swallowed whole (mmmm)

The dead don't rest,

they only wait

Behind the latch of a rusted gate (ohhh)

Ghost town,

hollow bone

Every grave has a story of its own

Ghost town, the cold wind calls

Secrets carved into crumbling walls

(ahhh, ahhh)

An old man spoke at the crossroads bend

Said some debts ain't settled 'til the bitter

end

He named the ones who were taken young

By the hex that hangs

where the hemlock's hung (mmmm)

The dead don't rest,

they only wait

Behind the latch of a rusted gate (ohhh)

Ghost town,

hollow bone Every grave has a story of its own

Ghost town, the cold wind calls

Secrets carved into crumbling walls

(ahhh, ahhh)

They say the devil don't take what ain't freely given But the

names on that stone weren't the ones still living

(ohhh... ohhh)

Ghost town,

hollow bone Every grave has a story

of its own

Ghost town, the cold wind calls

Secrets carved into crumbling walls

(ahhh... ahhh... mmmm)

(mmmm... mmmm)
