Holes in the Void Lyrics

Come take your part in the haze
days remembered in vain
dreams forgotten, depraved
so many fallen away
We kill tomorrow today
Confess our part in the hate
Burn the victims we paint
in twisted, glorious shades
of sorrow and pain
of pain and sorrow

Go on, tho life is fleeting
Hold on, hearts are beating
Holes in the void
We now enjoy
With no choice
Go on, hold on
Holes in the void
We now enjoy
With no choice
no choice...

Color your bodies, ingrained
Canvas slashed to the brain
Fallen martyrs in graves
washed away

Confess our part in the hate
Burn the victims we paint
In twisted, glorious shades
So many fallen away

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.

Good song, nice to see they are using a lot of solos these days. The intro sounds like some Pink Floyd "Empty Spaces" influence... Good work!

Very Floyd-esque. This band never ceases to amaze me. This is probably one of the best songs on the album. It's so methodical, pensive and the mood just builds and builds but never gives you a great resolution. I think the song is trying to draw similarities with war, and how soldiers are forced to follow orders and just become machines. Mushroomhead likes to deal with war (whether it's through their look or through songs like this and DTWAM).
