Alone

Chapter 7 - Alone
Mason tells of the emptiness he feels after returning from the war.
-----
[Verse]
In the haze of battle's roar
I fought till the end
Cannon smoke Bloodied ground
Watched as brothers fell
Came back to these hills
Where the rivers bend
But shadows whisper secrets
They've yet to tell
[Verse 2]
Took a step on the porch
But the wood didn't creak
Mama's eyes stared through me
Once so warm and kind
Empty chair by the hearth
Kin that I seek
In a world that moves on
Left me far behind
[Chorus]
Can't you see me?
Can't you hear me?
Cold winds call
Yet no one turns
In the hollow
Through Georgia valleys
I feel alone
In the home where I return
[Verse 3]
Howling winds play sorrow
Notes of yesteryear
Mountains hide mournful cries
Echoes in the pine
Walking through the meadows
I wish I could clear
The mist that shrouds
The unseen line
[Verse 4]
Light fades to twilight
Leaves whisper lies
In the chill of dusk
I see their empty eyes
Lost and adrift
where the wild crow flies
I'm just a soldier
Trapped under darkened skies
[Chorus]
Can't you see me?
Can't you hear me?
Cold winds call
Yet no one turns
In the hollow
Through Georgia valleys
I feel alone
In the home where I return
[Bridge]
Oh the hollow is my home
It's all I've ever known
But it seems to have forgotten
About me
Maybe war has had it's toll
Changed me to my soul
But what's left of me
Is all I'll ever be
[Chorus]
Can't you see me?
Can't you hear me?
Cold winds call
Yet no one turns
In the hollow
Through Georgia valleys
I feel alone
In the home where I return

Hollow Creek tells the tale of a Georgia soldier who returns from war a changed man. Desperate to set things right in his home of Hollow Creek, he seeks the aid of an old blind blues man that carries a mystical lantern.
CONTENT WARNING: The themes of this album explore tragedy, PTSD, trauma, violence, death and grief.
Hollow Creek has a significant shift in musical styles compared to other music on the channel, focusing on the music of the post-Civil War American South exploring Folk, Bluegrass, Banjo-driven ballads, and various forms of blues. While there'll still be a touch of the rock and metal influence throughout, the album will have a decidedly more mellow and somber tone to match the story it tells.

@@tanguylefebvre4977 Glad you enjoyed it. Current AI engines can do WAY more than people assume. It can be difficult to get a good prompt for the sound you want, and I always recommend self-written lyrics.
Anyway, I hope you get a moment to check out the complete playlists on the the channel for the full story on each of the albums.
