Throne of the Hollow Sky

Verse 1 Stone breath rising through the vaulted night Candles bow to a phantom light Ivory keys like frozen bone Call the storm that sleeps below Shadows stretch in crimson glass Time dissolves as echoes pass Each note drips from ancient veins Binding wind to iron chains Pre-Chorus Hear it crawl through the cathedral air A voice that isn’t there Chorus He plays the sky into submission Blackened chords, a dark ignition Floating throne above the earth Where silence bends and shadows birth Every note a spell untold Every breath the dead behold In the night where no hearts beat The world kneels down beneath his feet Verse 2 Mellotron ghosts begin to rise Choirs stitched from severed skies Harmonies without a name Flicker through the gothic flame Guitar strikes like distant thunder Tearing heaven open under Low-end rumble, slow decay Pulls the living far away Pre-Chorus Feel it press against your skin Let the endless night begin Chorus He plays the sky into submission Blackened chords, a dark ignition Floating throne above the earth Where silence bends and shadows birth Every note a spell untold Every breath the dead behold In the night where no hearts beat The world kneels down beneath his feet Bridge (Instrumental feel / minimal vocal) — organ swells — Verse 3 (Lower, intimate) Castle drifting, veiled in mist Orbiting the abyss Each vibration bends the ground No escape from what resounds Fingers carved from endless age Turn the final, fatal page One last chord, the heavens break And the sleeping dark awakes Final Chorus (Expanded) He plays the sky into submission Endless void in full collision Cathedral shaking, time undone Night devours the dying sun Every note a sealing vow No salvation left here now In the void where echoes weep All the world is pulled to sleep Outro Low drones fade but never die They linger in the hollow sky And far below, where mortals pray His music never drifts away
