Hornet

Lyrics

[Intro, spoken; "Hornet"] This old kingdom... A terrible thing awakens I can smell it in the air I know what you are I know what you'd try to do I can't allow it [Verse 1] Howling Feeble young creature You dare to test the plague Struggle Against the night But you shall not best my blade A vessel quests in vain Test your might Against the knight And nothing shall remain [Pre-Chorus] Little ghost without a mind Pity for your cursed kind [Chorus] Shell within the void, you would seek the end Who would claim the hollow, let the light extend I will not back down, I will not stand by While there is an ending that I would defy Needles pulling thread, spiders pulling silk Thеy will have no pity if the dark is killed So this piеrcing blade stands against the shade 'Til their silver sheen can end this dark crusade [Post-Chorus] Long as the knight's will survives I'll keep this kingdom alive Still, you've an admirable drive Face the sting Of the child of kings From all his hopes derived! [Interlude] Shaw! Adino! Hegale! [Verse 2] Not bad You have some skill For a vessel with no soul You'll learn For all your will There are things you can't control A void you can't make whole Learn your past And clash as stronger foe! [Interlude, spoken; "Daughter of Hallownest"] So you'd pursue the deeper truth? It isn't one the weak could bear Show me you can accept this Kingdom's past And claim responsibility for its future [Verse 3] Lost child Prove yourself worthy To bear this kingdom's fate Or fall I'll not hold back If the weak die at my blade From where do you draw strength? Child of kings If you succeed Then hallowed be thy name! [Pre-Chorus] Child with the void bestowed Ours is a lonely road [Chorus] Shell within the void, you would face the end Claim the mark of kings if kingdoms you'd defend I will not stand down, I won't stay my nail 'Til I see the strength that proves you can prevail Needles pulling thread, spiders pulling silk They will have no pity if the dark is killed So this piercing blade stands against the shade 'Til their silver sheen can end this dark crusade [Post-Chorus] Long as the knight's will survives I'll keep this kingdom alive Still, you've an admirable drive Face the sting Of the child of kings From all his hopes derived! [Verse 4] Well done Raise up your nail And face down your father's shame Onward Dare not to fail For this kingdom's life you claim You must end this game Go, hold fast To face the past And end this dark crusade!
