Lyrics
Verse
(A crown of bone on a king who saw it all
His laughter echoes through the hollow ground)
Where the cursed and lost are tightly bound
Chorus
Oh
Hollow King
With your empty throne
You rule the dark
The forsaken
The alone
(Your kingdom's cries are a blood-soaked hymn
In the foggy night
The moonlight’s grim)
Verse
The ravens scream in the deadened trees
A choir of sorrow rides the midnight breeze
(The forest whispers of the lives he stole
The Hollow King
Devourer of souls)
Chorus
Oh
Hollow King
With your empty throne
You rule the dark
The forsaken
The alone
(Your kingdom's cries are a blood-soaked hymn
In the foggy night
The moonlight’s grim)
Bridge
The iron gates creak
The church bells moan
The Hollow King waits in his castle of stone
(His crown of thorns bleeds into the dirt
A reign eternal
A world cursed and hurt)
Chorus
Oh
Hollow King
With your empty throne
You rule the dark
The forsaken
The alone
(Your kingdom's cries are a blood-soaked hymn
In the foggy night
The moonlight’s grim)
