Empty Glens Songtext
von Runrig

Looking out on all that′s been
And all that is and all that's beyond time
I close my eyes in isolation
Here′s where the word was sown
And all that's grown and all that's passed like ghosts
Through the childhood, highland generations

Now we walk in empty glens
Rushes blowing in the wind
A voice that′s calling you again
To come back home
Where have they gone, where have they gone?
Gone to illusion, every one
The darkest heart, the pride of man
Will walk alone, walk alone, walk alone


Science breaking down the door
And all the hordes go rushing through for more
The thrills of the world and all her idols
Ah, here the water washed us clean
A deeper peace from a cleaner sea
Washed in these clear, clear crystal fountains

Now we walk in empty glens
Rushes blowing in the wind
A voice that′s calling you again
To come back home
Where have they gone, where have they gone?
Gone to illusion, every one
The darkest heart, the pride of man
Will walk alone, walk alone, walk alone

Now we walk in empty glens
Rushes blowing in the wind
A voice that's calling you again
To come back home
Where have they gone, where have they gone?
Gone to illusion, every one
The darkest heart, the pride of man

Will walk alone

Will walk alone
Pride of man
Gone to illusion
