Beneath the Hollow Tree

[Verse 1]
In the woods where the lanterns fade,
There’s a tree where no sun’s displayed.
Roots like fingers clutch the ground,
Whispers rising, circling ‘round.

[Pre-Chorus]
Children vanish when they stray,
The hollow tree takes them away.

[Chorus]
Beneath the hollow tree they cry,
Their shadows dancing, bound to die.
The forest keeps what none can see,
A thousand souls beneath the tree.

[Verse 2]
Once it grew in sacred light,
Until a curse was cast one night.
A grieving witch with broken heart,
Bound her spirit to the bark.

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear her laughter, sharp and low,
Calling those who do not know.

[Chorus]
Beneath the hollow tree they cry,
Their shadows dancing, bound to die.
The forest keeps what none can see,
A thousand souls beneath the tree.

[Bridge]
Branches sway, the roots awake,
Hands of earth begin to take.
Every step pulls you inside,
No escape, no place to hide.

[Final Chorus]
Beneath the hollow tree they cry,
The curse eternal, none defy.
The witch still waits, her soul set free,
To claim your breath beneath the tree.
