This Hollowed Ground Lyrics

We turn the tide
We hide the clock
We cradle the moon
In case it stops

We stroke the gentle
Hand that stretches
Down to feed us
On this hollowed ground

This hollowed ground.

We ride the lamb
We break the cross
No hollow symbol
Fills our loss

For we have
Each other
We need no one to lead us
From this hollowed ground.

This hollowed ground.

We shall push and we shall pull and we shall rise above it all.

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.

It seems to be an optimistic acceptance of the world around us. Apathy towards enlightenment geared toward simply enjoying one's life? Who knows.
