Hollow Hymn Lyrics

The choir sings a hollow hymn

But the words don't reach the soul within

Candles burn in rows of doubt

Their waxed tears stain the altar

The shadows on the walls don't pray

They dance, mocking the light

Each step forward feels like falling back

Every word spoken hangs in the air

Heavy

Unanswered

Like a question

Sing the hollow hymn

A song to the void

A choir of silence

A prayer destroyed

Kneel to the unknown

Let the shadows preach

The truth lies buried

Just out of reach

I carved belief into my skin

But the scars don't glow, they only bleed

Each promise made feels like a chain

Binding me to a ghost unseen

The altar cracks

The choir fades

The hymn collapses

Into a scream

Sing the hollow hymn

A song to the void

A choir of silence

A prayer destroyed

Kneel to the unknown

Let the shadows preach

The truth lies buried

Just out of reach

The silence roars louder than any hymn

A void where God should stand

I reach for meaning in the chaos

But only find ashes in my hand

Was the hymn ever meant for me?

Or was it hollow from the start?

Sing the hollow hymn

A song to the void

A choir of silence

A prayer destroyed

Kneel to the unknown

Let the shadows preach

The truth lies buried

Just out of reach

The hymn dissolves

The light fades

What's left in the silence

But the echo of faith betrayed?
