Nexus Keeper 

[Verse 1]
Cold ash on my hands
No name, no skin, no past
I wake in shattered armor
And the omen cuts fast
The world is a wound
With towers full of teeth
I step through the ruin
Where the dead still breathe
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that stone prayer
Under my feet
Every hall wants blood
Every door wants heat
If I break, I learn
If I learn, I burn
 
[Chorus]
Take the hollow crown
Take the hollow crown
I was made for this ground
I was made for this ground
I rise, I fall, I rise
In the shell, I don’t die
Take the hollow crown
Take the hollow crown
 
[Verse 2]
Masks in the dark
With eyes like cracked glass
Old kings in the marrow
Still clinging to the past
I read their hunger
In the rust and the bone
Every oath here rots
But I walk alone
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that stone prayer
Under my feet
Every hall wants blood
Every door wants heat
If I break, I learn
If I learn, I burn
 
[Chorus]
Take the hollow crown
Take the hollow crown
I was made for this ground
I was made for this ground
I rise, I fall, I rise
In the shell, I don’t die
Take the hollow crown
Take the hollow crown
 
[Bridge]
When the veil tears back
And the last light bends
I’ll face the black tide
With my borrowed limbs
No mercy in the ruins
No peace in the flame
Just one more chamber
And one more name
 
[Final Chorus]
Take the hollow crown
Take the hollow crown
I was made for this ground
I was made for this ground
I rise, I fall, I rise
In the shell, I don’t die
Take the hollow crown
Take the hollow crown

[Verse]

Snow whispers sharp like a broken blade

The sun is a rumor

Its warmth betrayed

Breath turns to ghosts

Floating thin in the air

A shadow of hunger

[Verse]

Out in the land where the shadows creep

A ghostly whisper haunts your sleep

The desert calls with a cursed breath

Every step closer to untold death

[Chorus]

Blood runs thick beneath the sky

Westward winds they scream and cry

[Verse]

A legend wakes with fire in his eyes

Steel in his fists like thunder in the skies

Khazan stands where no man dared before

Through shattered realms he screams for more

[Verse 2]

The claws of fate pull him to the fray

The echoes scream as darkness prays

With every swing the shadows shatter
