Entombed - Hollowman Lyrics






The hollow sky is red
The race is on
Faces are all dead
The race is on

It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time

Bedrooms are tombs
Cradles are coffins
Tears I cannot shed
A matter of time
A matter of slugs
Till the rats are fed

Who examines the doctors?
Who examines the doctors?

I'm the hollowman
I'm the hollowman
I'm the hollowman

It's just a matter of bullets
In hollow brains
As I wander slowly
Through bullet rains

My hollow eyes are staring down the hole
Jesus, Satan, Hitler bought my soul

It's rotten and sour
But it's inside of me
I've got faith in the end
But you just can't see

Who examines the doctors?
Who examines the doctors?

I'm the hollowman
I'm the hollowman
I'm the hollowman

  1. N.... 9....

    It’s like hardcore punk and metal in one

  2. �.... �....

    Entombed !!! Украина!!!

  3. M.... ....

    Fuck. It's been 27 years now since I heard this track for the first time. First impression - "what the fuck happened? Where is the Clandestine 2"? Then - I loved it and I still do. Instant classic. Long live Entombed (or Entombed AD - whatever).
    PS: shit, I'm old.

  4. l.... k....

    Oh yeah!!!!!

  5. �.... �....

    aaaahhh great hight school years, when there was no internet, only local web. i came to my class mate and downloaded (sorry, im a pirate) all the fucking sludge, and groovy shit crowbar, entombed, eyehategod, down etc.... fuck, i miss my 16-18's and entombed and NIИ was the soundtrack for these years!

  6. O.... Q....

    so fucking good

  7. G.... v....

    Fuckin censored.... what the fuck has this world become...

  8. A.... 9....

    The Boss HM2 Distortion pedal in full effect!!! That's the guitar tone! Sold mine when I was skint, thinking back, I would rather starve! :)

  9. i.... g....

    Death and roll!!

  10. m.... ....

    I love this song.
    It's like a hitman's elegy.
    "My hollow eyes are staring down the hole. Jesus, Satan, Hitler bought my soul."

  11. M.... S....

    This album and Convulse's "Reflections" were two of the first death'n'roll albums ever! Correct me if i'm wrong :)

  12. R.... P....

    This is like trampled under hoof, snowblind, raw deal, these songs. Immortal.

  13. G.... �....

    By the gods of emptiness😉 this was and still grinds...sheets, the cd came with a mini comic back in the day🎚👹🎚🤘

  14. J.... P....

    The BEST band

  15. f.... c....

    stoner death metal !!!

  16. u.... ....

    very good song except for that repetitive part which is annoying

  17. Z.... ....

    i just love what are they doing

  18. D.... C....

    This drummer has a mad pocket!

  19. P.... J....

    This video is a commercial for Haribo liqourice coins. Mralwalrlwww

  24. P.... T....

    Boss HM2

  25. J.... D....

    And the point it happened https://youtu.be/skn3VFz5pUM?t=110

  26. S.... T....

    Jesus , Satan , Hitler. Picture them hanging out together ! Awesome lyrics , awesome song , awesome band!!🤘

    S.... T....

    Yaeh - but they screamed "Hitler". They seemed to be nazi (leftist way of thinking), Paranoia level hard. As far as I remember lots of Swedish death metal bands were accused of such ridiculous things (not to mention the Norwegian ones)

  27. �.... �....

    кто не слышал Entombed тот попсовик!!!!!!!!

  28. S.... M....

    good times!

  29. M.... A....

    ❤ \m/

  30. d.... l....

    Ett av sve bästa live band +++++

  31. d.... l....

    Otroligt bra live band**** Såg dem i min hemstad för två veckor sedan. Gå L.G

    d.... l....

    Menar fem av 🤘 Tipsar er bangers att gå och se dem !!!!!

  32. D.... M....

    Killer track

  33. C.... B....

    this record always had a stoner vibe to me when compared to other Death Metal bands of the time. Death metal in bitchin vans with lava lamps and massive bong hits

  34. c.... p....

    These guys are hall of famers. Nobody sounds like them. They were kids when they invented their sound. They had to get their parents to sign their contract with earache. Pure originals.

    c.... p....

    I recall being 16 years old and buying a promotional copy of the cassette before it was released from an unnamed individual (no snitchin!)...I was psyched having been a big fan of Left Hand Path. Since I was balls deep into Boston Hardcore scene, I wasn't listening to much metal, but when I popped this into my Walkman on the bus ride home, I was initial like WTF happened to the band from previous album?! Until I got through the whole release and it became a rare go to favorite for all these years along with the likes of Neurosis' "Souls At Zero" and Sheer Terror's "Just Can't Hate Enough"...That type of classic that is never dated and always sounds refreshing! They gave creedence to the logic of why a knob goes to ten on a distortion pedal! Not a tone I easily pull off, as it is not often mentioned how much more difficult it is to play tight with a shotgun trigger of massive gain in your tips!

    c.... p....

    ofcourse they are farmers.

  35. R.... B....

    Good Question: Who Examines the Doctor?

  36. D.... F....

    Great band!!!

  37. J.... ....

    Fuck Yeah! I just played this video over and over for like 2 hrs learning this song and I got it that riff at 2:00 makes me wanna rule the world with my guitar! Thanks!

  38. N.... d....

    One of my favorite songs of entombed

  39. w.... d....

    LOL They Pulled a WHO and destroyed their instruments at the end too cool!

  40. C.... S....

    ENTOMBED KICKS ASS!!!!!!

  41. R.... R....

    Niol mlm olo olo virf. Bnb lol maer niol louc nees blo blo blo olo dest

  42. C.... S....

    Utmost love and respect for this band, always \m/

  43. k.... d....

    I listen to this when i have exam 😐

  44. s.... ....

    Seriously... WHY THE FUCK THE LYRICS WERE CENSORED?!

  45. G.... P....

    Bad ass!!

  46. A.... V....

    So fuckin good!!!

  47. T.... ....

    What degenerate gave this bad ass song a thumbs down? To the ABYSS with your asses!

  48. B.... H....

    I haven't heard this song in years but i can sing along to it instantly like it was yesterday.

  49. L.... C....

    solo like a black sabbath

  50. A.... M....

    I remember when this music was shunned everywhere, for explicit lyrics and suggestive connotations. Huh, the other day I heard a R&B song repeating over and over "I want to die". It was playing on the popular radio station super 102.7 in Charleston WV. Lol, at the control that exists in this world.

    A.... M....

    Shunned lmao but I hear ya it's a manipulated jaded media trying to control our minds... to hell with em

  51. M.... F....

    Minha adolescência. Q saudade!

  52. t.... ....

    these guys were perfect back in the day. i much prefer the swedish style to the american style at the time, it's much heavier, lower guitars, etc. and much more catchy as is evident on this album. more bands should do the death n' roll style imo

  53. D.... ....

    the riffs are so laid back yet aggressive fucking awesome

  54. P.... D....

    Before there was Slow Southern Steel... there was Slow Swedish Steel...

    P.... D....

    Yep. I can listen to this right alongside some Down, Crowbar and Corrosion of Conformity.

  55. K.... D....

    Too much rock sound for me.

    K.... D....

    Take the clamp off your nuts that make you sing like a bitch and your hearing might improve.

  56. S.... v....

    One of the best ever!

  57. A.... V....

    This song is F* great!!! \m/

  58. M.... B....

    PANCADA👊

  59. Z.... K....

    The rhythm guitar sound is killer!!!

  60. s.... ....

    Holy crap this sounds weak. Entombed AD is more brutal than this

    s.... ....

    Said no one ever

  61. J.... T....

    ENTOMBED IR UN BŪS ENTOMBED - klausīšos MŪŽIGI !!!

    J.... T....

    agrīnie rauj jumtu joprojām, deathNroll gan tā īsti nepaķer

  62. M.... ....

    For me it's always great to hear "Hollowman" and then "Night of the vampire". I don't know why but these two songs for years matched together for me. Glory to the Entombed. Greetings.

  63. J.... d....

    Entombed era muito foda com a formação original. Simplesmente arrasador!!!

  64. r.... w....

    os caras arrebentam.

  65. T.... P....

    I've been listening this song since I was a teenager. It's so good and catchy.

  66. A.... �....

    Man... I had the Hollowman EP but it was in my car when some punks tried to steal my speakers and later I realized they'd taken my CD case. BTW the instrumental version of Wolverine Blues on that EP is fucking magic...

  67. M.... ....

    Fodastico!!!

  68. A.... Z....

    della violenza ricercata in questo pezzo

  69. A.... L....

    da hora

  70. N.... D....

    Death n roll. I still think that when I hear them now

  71. C.... R....

    Perfeição!

  72. �.... �....

    Old version was more brutal.

    �.... �....

    This is the original.

    �.... �....

    @countsmyth Maybe he means the band??

  73. C.... T....

    Mortal!!

  74. S.... �....

    perfect band \m/

  75. J.... V....

    such a fucking sick song

  76. P.... W....

    Jesus Satan and Hitler bought my soulless fuck yea great song I heard them on grand theft auto 4 drowning was the song and max cavalera was radio host on game lchc

  77. D.... B....

    I remember in that time line, I was in my early teens. Entombed, Dismember and At the Gate was my outstanding band at that time. All in full metal jacket an long hair, wow!!! was i young. miss those good metal music.

  78. a.... r....

    i guess that a DM band had a guy that looked like Lenny Kravitz was something very uncool for all the blackmetallers in Norway

    a.... r....

    They couldn't care less for the black metal scene in Norway or Sweeden
    They were playing bloody death metal

  79. T.... R....

    I´M NOT THE ALLOW MAN.......I´M THE MAN THAT ALLOWS SOMETHINGS......POIS ÉÉÉ´´.....VAIAM-SE FODER.-EHEHEHEHEH..........

  80. D.... N....

    Oh man... this song... so prescient and ahead of it's time. Lyrics rarely get paid attention to in this format of music but with lines like "Who examines the doctors" - shades of ebola anyone? Or what about "Jesus, Satan, Hitler have bought my soul". Awesome run that the original incarnation of Entombed had going. The cool crunchy swagger of rock and filth metal tone, just an inspired song in all regards and never have tired of it since I first heard it back in the early 90's.

    D.... N....

    Butthole Surfers

  81. p.... ....

    Who examines the social engineers?

  82. g.... ....

    masterpiece...

    g.... ....

    gmaz420 the piece of the master

  83. A.... R....

    Super fuckn heavy love the shit!!!

  84. E.... ....

    At around 2 minute into the song. It sounds really good the riff and atmosphere.

  85. l.... ....

    entombed always had a unique sound...and i love it

  86. k.... ....

    eh...Entombed lost it for me after Clandestine and Left Hand Path...not even the same band.

    k.... ....

    fuon sus obras maestras

    k.... ....

    Wolverine Blues todavía fue un excelente muestra de lo que su suponía que debía sonar el Death 'n' Roll.

    k.... ....

    Chief rebel angel was pretty good

  87. J.... C....

    excelente aporte!

  88. W.... G....

    with less distortion but still that same death swing !!!

  89. A.... ....

    Varför gillar jag detta oljud?

  90. c.... ....

    one of Entombed's last good album!

  91. S.... ....

    Other doctors?

  92. Q.... M....

    I seen Entombed with Hatebreed back in 1997. I had no idea that Hatebreed would become such a successful band and that i would see them two more times. Entombed's first three albums are my favorites.

    Q.... M....

    you seen em?

  93. M.... F....

    It's a brutal song

  94. K.... ....

    ENTOMBED meets VELVET REVOLVER. \m/ \m/

  95. S.... ....

    FUCKING SWEDEATH!

  96. N.... S....

    HOLY SHIT! This is fucking good.

  97. Z.... ....

    The 2:24 mark: EEEEYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Damn I love that yell.

    Z.... ....

    Roots...
