Runrig — Empty Glens

[verse 1] Looking out on all that's been And all that is and all that's beyond time I close my eyes in isolation [verse 2] Here's where the word was sown And all that's grown and all that's passed like ghosts Through the child to Highland generations [Chorus] 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 everyone The darkest heart, the pride of man Will walk alone [verse 3] Science breaking down the door And all the hordes go rushing through for more The thrills of the world, and all her idols [verse 4] Oh, here the water washed us clean A deeper peace for all our keenest sins Washed in these clear, clear crystal fountains [Chorus] 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 everyone In the darkest heart, the pride of man Will 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 everyone In the darkest heart, the pride of man Will walk alone [coda] Alone Will walk alone [?], follow the stars The pride of man, all gone to illusion
