Lyrics
The hollow light is still on the fields
The dim light persists over the open fields.
where the winter has warmed
Where the winter has become milder.
and the snows have drained away.
The snow has melted and drained away.
And the hunter's cry is still on the air
The cry of a hunter still echoes in the air.
as the bullet flies home

and the heart that's pierced with it.

brush the glitterin skein
Touches upon the sparkling pattern where a large, dark creature moves.
where the great, dark body writhes.
Refers to the majestic and mysterious body of the leviathan.
And the trembling jaw, the unfathoming sounds
Describes the quivering jaw and mysterious sounds.
of leviathan, bound,
The leviathan is bound or restricted in some way.
as his heart, though weakening.
Despite weakening, the leviathan's heart continues to beat.
Still is racing
Reiterates the persistent racing of the leviathan's heart.
Still is racing, all alone.
Emphasizes the solitude of the leviathan's racing heart.
All alone.
Repeats the theme of solitude.
You are racing.
Addresses an unnamed subject, stating they are racing.
You are racing, alone.
Reiterates the solitude of the unnamed subject's racing.
