Hollow Tree Songtext
von Children Within

I′m a hollow tree
Where people take shelter
When the war is over
They'll cut me down
My mind is weak and
My blood is floating slowly
The winter was cold this year

Expanding my kingdom
Feet by feet
I carry the trace of a fire so huge
My friends they took
To build up their fleet
I carry the trace of a fire


It′s easy to break
It's easy to shake
And the hollow tree is fragile
When the crown is bursting into leaves
It's easy to break
It′s easy to shake
And the hollow tree is tired
When the vein of water′s empty

I'm a lifeless oak
Singing in the stormy winter
When the springtime comes
My branches crack
My life is long and
My crown is rising proudly
Towards the stars at night I climb

Expanding my kingdom
Feet by feet
I carry the trace of a fire so huge
My friends they took
To build up their fleet
I carry the trace of a fire


It′s easy to break
It's easy to shake
And the hollow tree is fragile
When the crown is bursting into leaves
It′s easy to break
It's easy to shake
And the hollow tree is tired
When the vein of water′s empty
