Hollow Horse - The Icicle Works

Be careful what you dream of

it may come up and surprise you

I can’t confess my life’s a mess

I’ve come to idolise you

You liken it to walking on hot coals

I’ll keep my boots on

Wisen up and fly straight

There’s a shape on the horizon

In a hollow horse I’ll steal my way

inside your guarded heart

So selfishly the needs I harbour

when we are apart

My past strung out behind me,

contradiction and disaster

I’m in search of charity,

a union I could master

We’ll be as we are

When all the fools

who doubt us fade away

Fortune deep and wide

Intimidated, restless in the wait

Things I chose to value

I no longer have a use for

I ridicule myself for all the things

those symbols stood for

When vanity has played a part

in every leader’s downfall

Wait to storm the gates, what’s left

undone to hang around for

We’ll be as we are

When all the fools

who doubt us fade away

Fortune deep and wide

Intimidated, restless in the wait
