The Fading Realm Hollow Knight

[Verse 1]

Em
Dank frigid wind
 Bm
Abruptly pierces the cloak
  C
Behind this bleak trait
     D
Hold ready your Nail
     Em
Slow down and hark
     Bm
That once it was otherwise
    C          A
But Hallownest days
    B
Are numbered lang syne
    C
You see, far away
           G
The palace ruins appear
    D
The city there was
                Em
That will never rise
 C
Erected it was
                G
With our king’s love and concern
    A
But since abyss rose
              B
The king fled away

[Verse 2]

     Em
Move forward, my friend
   Bm
Go pick up the pace.
   C
Before the night falls
      D
We’ll freeze to the bone
   Em
So much I would love that
   Bm
It went not as awful it did
   C           A
To make Hallownest’s lights
 B
Sparkle again
   C
Magnificent parties
         G
Nobility used to give here
    D
Now nothing but tears
            Em
Give us our skies
    C
And long were those feasts
     G
from dawn till dusk
    C
Now solely moans
            D
Produced by doomed

[Verse 3]

Gm          D#
   Our doom is ordained
by fate
   Cm
We can’t avoid
           D
And cannot escape
  Gm
Creator, forgive us
   D#
Forgotten you was
    Cm
And you never will ever
          D
Light our path
D#
Cursed be the Lady
Gm
Seeking protection in green
D#
Cursed be the Vessel
                       D
Who was chained in the dark
D#
Cursed be the monarch
Gm
Foolished by abbys and gone
D#
Dooming his kingdom
       Cm      D
To the eternal void

[Verse 4]

Em
  The years roll on
     Bm
Time leaves rocks in the dust
C
And Hallownest
     D
Will hardly come back
    Em
Its lands are soaked
     Bm
With vile peccant plague
    C       A
And niveous haze
   B
Obscures our paths
    C
But our souls flames
   G
Inspires our hearts
    D
The flame of the hope
                Em
That will never die
C
Thus Hollow Knight
          G
Once will return to us
     A
Will vanquish the plague
    Bm            E
And go to eternal sleep
