For The World Is Hollow Lyrics

Take me to the maker, to the shaper of the everything - The Great and Terrible OZ.

Lay me on the altar of the nameless and the faceless -
Give me up for sacrifice

It's all about the curtain and the man behind...

Fill me with the dogma from the pages of your holy book - make pure the sins of my mind

Save me from the fate that's surely waiting for the faithless ones - secure my place in your sky

It's all about the curtain and the man behind
It's make believe for certain, yea I know your mind,
I've seen the light...

For the world is hollow
For the world is hollow
For the world is hollow...
and I have touched the sky.

Spear me with the wisdom of the sages from the ages gone;
Their words are surely divine

Cure me of the tendency to question or to pry -
lock my guilded cage with your lies

It's all about the curtain and the man behind
It's make believe for certain, yea I know your mind,
I've seen the light...

For the world is hollow
For the world is hollow
For the world is hollow...
and I have touched the sky.

For the world is hollow
For the world is hollow
For the world is hollow...
and I have touched the sky.

Spear me with the wisdom of the sages from the ages gone;

For the world is hollow
For the world is hollow
For the world is hollow...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
