CROWN OF THE HOLLOW KINGv6

[Intro — Whispered, ancient voices\] Before the sun… Before the flame… The earth was young. And death had no name. Ohhh… Beneath the stone, beneath the sea… The old gods still remember me. ### \[Verse I — Deep, slow, hypnotic\] Where iron rivers carved the land, And blood was spilled by a king’s own hand, Where ravens fed on the fallen throne, And nameless gods ruled flesh and bone. The moon was chained in a tower of bone, The stars were dead, and the gods had flown, A thousand swords in the blackened rain, A thousand souls that would rise again. ### \[Pre-Chorus — Building, whispered into a scream\] Ash to ash… And bone to bone… I call the shadows— I CLAIM THE THRONE! ### \[Chorus — Massive, melodic, powerful\] RAISE THE SWORD! LET THE HEAVENS BLEED! Wake the curse of the ancient seed! BREAK THE SEAL! LET THE OLD GODS RISE! Blackened fire in a blood-red sky! Ohhh— no crown, no king, no grave! Ohhh— no god can chain the brave! From the ashes, from the cold— WE ARE THE CURSE THAT NEVER GROWS OLD! ### \[Verse II — Faster, sinister rhythm\] Seven witches beneath the hill, Spoke dead languages that could kill. With silver tongues and hands of flame, They carved my soul and erased my name. A serpent slept in the emperor’s crown, Its venom turned all the angels down. I drank the night from a chalice of sin, And heard the dead whisper: “Let us in…” ### \[Pre-Chorus II — Ritual chant\] Ignis niger… Umbra regis… Mortem voco… SOLVE CAELUM! (Black fire… Shadow of the king… I call death… Shatter the heavens!) LET THE STARS FALL DOWN! ### \[Chorus — Full choir, double vocals\] RAISE THE SWORD! LET THE HEAVENS BLEED! Wake the curse of the ancient seed! BREAK THE SEAL! LET THE OLD GODS RISE! Blackened fire in a blood-red sky! Ohhh— no crown, no king, no grave! Ohhh— no god can chain the brave! From the ashes, from the cold— WE ARE THE CURSE THAT NEVER GROWS OLD! ### \[Bridge — Slow, ominous, almost spoken\] I saw the first king drown in gold. I heard the last priest scream. I watched the world turn into dust, And buried God beneath my dreams. No light above. No earth below. No blood to spill. No seed to sow. Then from the dark… A voice arose… “THE OLDEST EVIL NEVER SLEEPS.” ### \[Breakdown — War drums, guttural vocals\] BONE! For the nameless! BLOOD! For the slain! STEEL! For the kingdom! DARKNESS! FOR THE NAMELESS AGE! Strike the flint! Awake the dead! Wear the crown— OF THE HOLLOW HEAD! ### \[Final Chorus — Epic choir, soaring vocals\] RAISE THE SWORD! LET THE HEAVENS BLEED! I am the wound beneath creation’s seed! BREAK THE SEAL! LET THE OLD GODS RISE! I AM THE DARK THAT SWALLOWS LIGHT! No crown! No king! No chains! No grave! No gods above! No souls to save! Let the final bells unfold— I AM THE CURSE THAT NEVER GROWS OLD! ### \[Outro — Fading whispers\] Before the sun… Before the flame… The world shall die… And forget its name… Ohhh… Beneath the stone… Beneath the sea… The Hollow King… …REMEMBERS ME.
