Lyrics of 'To The King - [Hollow Knight Song]' by TyKim

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

How much is too much, 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 sa-cri-fice
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 sa-cri-fice
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 a-gain!
