Analysis of Hollow



Earthly,
However, it strives to walk on air, always downward and further northward.
Cut your skin and it shall bleed the drink of gods.
For every one that seeketh findeth.
Break your bones and you will find manna inside.
For every one that asketh receiveth.
Tear your eyes out and behold the Vision.
For to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
The tongues with which we speak from are from the dead, and what dwells in us is not human.
All of you, children of the earth! All of you, children of Adam! From your veins flows praise!
May the Lord be in your hearts and on your lips, within the stinking saliva that spits into open mouths.
Born again in drought lands, no one sees.
A tide of living darkness, to erase reason and towards silence.
As the knees bend as the mind decays, the new almighty god, turns man back into dust.
