Wake The Hollow

[Verse 1 — soft, haunting female vocals]

I hear the bells beneath the ground
A thousand voices without sound
These silver chains around my skin
Keep all the dying light within

[Pre-Chorus — rising intensity]

Something is calling through the stone
A heart that never was my own
I feel the shadows start to break
How much of me must darkness take?

[Chorus — explosive, powerful vocals]

Wake the hollow, tear the night
Drag my soul into the light
Through the ashes, through the flame
I will never be the same
Let the heavens fall apart
Let the darkness eat my heart
If this curse is all I know
Then I'll become the undertow

[Verse 2 — darker, more aggressive]

Your ghost is breathing in my veins
Your love was carved into my chains
I kissed the blade, I cursed the sky
And buried every reason why

[Bridge — whispered vocals building into a scream-like belt]

If I am damned, then let me rise
With burning stars behind my eyes
No god, no grave, no prophecy
Will take the last of me from me

[Final Chorus — full orchestra, heavy guitars, layered vocals]

Wake the hollow, tear the night
Watch me turn my grief to light
Through the ashes, through the flame
I will rise beyond my name
Let the heavens fall apart
I have forged a fearless heart
If this curse is all I know
I'll be the storm the dead gods fear

[Outro — soft, haunting whisper]

Deep beneath the earth below…
Something wakes inside the hollow.
