From up above the cell a corpse is tossed to feet Sitting there decayed but lucid, an opportunity Ending of the Age of Fire, a whispered prophecy The chosen undead escapes to begin the pilgrimage
Asylum for the branded far in the North Darksign marks the curse They're locked away, waiting for the end With no purpose they turn Hollow Doomed they've always been
Here take this flask, take this key, take my place for I soon rest in peace You will defeat the demon keeping you through fear With patience watch all your surroundings And always be prepared to die
Now that it's gone Fly me away Travel by crow To a new land I'm alone
The crestfallen (Speaks of the) Bells of awakening Ring to prove Climb high to the church Crawl deep down into the blight
Old furtive deity, the master of the Dark Soul Relative maybe to this original Lord With his new power he planned to bring black (When the first flame fades) Ending age of fire and Gods alike
Dead yet alive they're raised beside the fire Without humanity it will start The hollowing Losing the mind Free will is gone Decomposing A final life
Thought to be a disease by the living The Allfather hunts them down Born of cinder's sacrifice How it's spread can not be known Chosen has a different fate Thoughts are clear and can't be bent Though the body takes the shape Others see the difference
King seeker serpent Tasked to deem worth Traverse the fortress built by the Gods Beyond the iron find the city Forsaken kingdom
Chamber of the daughter watched by two protective hosts Incarnation of the chosen is given the vessel Satiated with only the strongest souls Grave lord, the witch, scaleless, and the four fallen kings
Catacombs and giants' tombs, demonic ruins Crystal caves and lore Shattering the immortal Wolf and ring, an abyss Draining city of the wraiths
Take all these souls from me Show the way to the kiln
After a final breath Choices must be made Hollow my life for Them Linking all the flames Or do I walk away, let the fire fade Rule this world of decay
