The Hollow Man (Chapter 6)

[Intro – distorted whisper] (Kael Vox… Kael Vox… you cannot run…) [Verse 1 – Kael, rapid vocal] Footsteps pound in the neon rain, Every shadow repeats my name. Steel in the dark, blade in the wire, Hollow eyes burn with a borrowed fire. I know this ghost, I know that stance, A mirror moves inside the dance. Strike for strike, my scars ignite, I’m fighting myself in the broken night. [Chorus – explosive, layered Kael + Hollow Man] KAEL (yelling): THE HOLLOW MAN, FACE OF NONE, CHASING ME DOWN ‘TIL THE NIGHT IS DONE. HOLLOW MAN (distorted echo): (You are me… I am you… fragment undone…) BOTH: Every blow is a truth unspoken, Every strike is a memory broken. [Verse 2 – Kael, strained] Breath in blood, fists in glass, Every second could be my last. He knows my steps, he knows my rage, Like a memory trapped inside this cage. [Bridge – Hollow Man whispers, glitchy] (Kael Vox… we fought as one… Kael Vox… fragment undone… You erased me… you betrayed… Now I’m the shadow you can’t escape…) [Final Chorus – violent industrial crash] KAEL: THE HOLLOW MAN, FACE OF NONE, MY OWN REFLECTION WITH A STOLEN GUN. HOLLOW MAN (glitch echo): (You can’t escape what you’ve become…) BOTH (layered, intense): Every scar is a vow I keep, Every ghost is a war I bleed. [Outro – faint whispers] (You know me, Kael… you know me…)
