TyKim - [Hollow Knight Song] To The King

Oh, ashes to ashes, your dust into dust
Telling yourself you do what you must
Oh, anything to keep your kingdom's trust
Monarch eternal, as we slowly rust

How much is too much? Oh, just what is the cost
To keep up this faded and cursed Omelas?
We lived and we died, so that you could pause time
We hope you enjoyed your last subject's applause

One, two, three
You need sacrifice
To seal your damned demons away
'Cause pain and death, it's fine
As long as this kingdom's mine
Live to see just one more day
Please, just one more try
I've got it this time
'Cause there's no cost too great

Think of the future
Think of the past
Do you remember?
Do you regret?
Think of your children
Think of your men
Someday you'll have to
Pay up your debt
Try to forget us
We dare you to try
'Cause we will remind you
This isn't goodbye
Look to the future
Look to the past
Do you remember
Your graveyard?

Silently, slowly, we keep up the fight
Given some time, we just might set things right
We try and we try to climb up to the light
With corpses beneath you, do you sleep at night?

Way up above lies your chosen pure knight
The only one spared was the one with no mind
For you, for your heart, for your love, did they lie?
Pretend all is fine as their mind rots inside

One, two, three
You need sacrifice
To keep your damned demons away
'Cause pain and death, it's fine
As long as this kingdom's mine
Live to see just one more day
Please, just one more try
I've got it this time
'Cause there's no cost too great

Think of the future
Think of the past
Do you remember?
Do you regret?
Think of your children
Think of your men
Someday you'll have to
Pay up your debt
Try to forget us
We dare you to try
'Cause we will remind you
This isn't goodbye
Think of the future
Think of the past
Do you remember
Your graveyard?

Our voices will cry out again!
