The Hollow Earth

Rotten world, tarnished and worn Eyes of ash, without a spark reborn Trapped, cursed, and left to decay What's left to believe, who can guide the way? In this hollow Earth, where do I belong? A world of shame, where love is wrong. I won't bow down, as they'll push me aside No solace, only lies, as they crucify My moral compass is working, without a clue For in the void, only darkness shines through In this hollow Earth, where do I belong? A world of shame, where love is wrong. Who smiles at the puppeteer? Who listens to his tale? What joy does he seek, what wealth does he hail? He's tired of the game, yet still he plays on Each one of us, lost, until the end is gone In this hollow Earth, where do I belong? A world of shame, where love is wrong. Life's a struggle, we're all adrift Each one of us, searching for a distant rift Love's the only thing that remains But are you ready to kneel to change the chains? In this hollow Earth, where do I belong? A world of shame, where love is wrong. Your strange language, I cannot define Let the rain wash away, the secrets that entwine It'll sweep me off the path, shatter the lies And wait, until nightfall, when the truth will arise
