Hornet (feat. Emily Go) [From "Hollow Knight"]

This old kingdom
A terrible thing awakens
I can smell it in the air
I know what you are
I know what you try to do
I can't allow it!

Howling
Feeble, young creature
You dare to test the Plague
Struggle against the night
But you shall not best my blade
A Vessel quest's in vain
Test your might against the Knight
And nothing shall remain
Little Ghost without a mind
Pity for your cursed kind

Shell within the void
Know this is the end
Who would claim the Hollow
Let the light extend
I will not back down
I will not stand by
While there is an ending
That I would defy

Needles pulling thread
Spiders pulling silk
They will have no pity
If the dark is killed
So this piercing blade
Stands against the shade
Til' their silver sheen
Can end this dark crusaide!

Long as the knight's will survive
I'll keep this Kingdom alive
Still you've an admirable drive
Face the sting
Of the Child of kings
From all his hopes derived!

Not bad
You have some skill
For a vessel with no soul
You'll learn
For all your will
There are things you can't control
A void you can't make whole
Learn your past
And clash as stronger foe!

So you pursue the deeper truth
It isn't one the weak could bear
Show me you can accept the Kingdom's past
And claim responsibilty for its future

Lost child
Prove yourself worthy
To bear this kingdom's fate
Or fall
I'll not hold back
If the weak die at my blade
From where do you draw strengh?
Child of kings
If you succeed
Then hallowed be thy name!

Child withe void bestowed
Ours is a lonely road
Shell within the void
You would face the end
Claim the Mark of Kings
If kindoms you'd defend
I will not back down
I won't stay my nail
'Til I see the strengh that proves you can prevail

Needles pulling thread
Spiders pulling silk
They will have no pity
If the dark is killed
So this piercing blade
Stands against the shade
Til' their silver sheen
Can end this dark crusaide!

Long as the knight's will survive
I'll keep this kingdom alive
Still you've an admirable drive
Face the sting
Of the Child of kings
From all his hopes derived!

Well done
Raise up your nail
And face down your father's shame
Onward
Dare not to fail
For this Kingdom's life ou claim
You must end this game
Go, hold fast
To face the past
And end this dark crusaide!
