Born with a crown of cinders Thorns inside his chest Eyes like broken mirrors Every dream a test Shadows carved his name in Scar across the throne He sat among the monsters More haunted than alone He drank the poison in his skull Till every scream grew beautiful He tore the gates down Silently Made his own purgatory Redemption of the Hollow King He fed on hell and felt it sing He devoured the underworld Inside his mind Inside his world What was his torment Now is peace Ashes fall And he is free Redemption of the Hollow King Voices like iron chains Laughed inside his head They drew their runes in pain Spelled out what he dread He walked the burning halls Bare feet Bleeding stone Said If you live in me Then I will make you home He took each demon by the throat Pulled them inside with every note He swallowed night He swallowed fear Till nothing left to hold him here Eat the dark Chew the grief Turn the curse Into belief He wears the flame like folded wings The pit now sings The pit now sings
