Hook & Hollow

Intro - Slow, heavy drumbeat, echoing vocals)
(Whispered) They threw me to the sea...
(Sung slowly)
Castaway, born of bone and spray.
They didn't want me, so I stole the day.
Hook in hand, skin is etched in ink.
Bringing down the sky, making mountains sink.
(Verse 1 - Moody, rhythmic)
Abandoned child, the ocean was my mother
Gods gave me power, I left behind the others
Pulled your islands up, stole the fire from below
You’re shivering in the dark? Well, I’m the one who glows.
That little spark you cook on?
You're lookin' at him, son.
I twisted fate, I broke the world, and now you’re finally won.
(Pre-Chorus - Rising tension, cinematic strings)
They call it blessing, I call it theft
I’ve got no mercy, only strength left.
You love the sun? I tied it down.
I wear the crown, I make the ocean drown.
(Chorus - Dark, commanding, slow tempo)
What can I say, except... I’m needed?
I’m the god your people feared.
What can I say, except... I’m needed?
It's just the way the path is cleared.
You’re welcome.
Yeah, you’re welcome.
(Verse 2 - Gritty, introspective)
Look at my skin, it moves when I am lying
Tells the story of the giants I was killing
I’m a demigod, but I feel the cold
Living in a story that never gets old.
The curse of the heart, I stole it for you
Darkness is coming, but I’m pushing through.
No, I won't stop, I'm destined to play
The hero who brings the night and the day.
(Chorus - Dark, commanding)
What can I say, except... I’m needed?
I’m the god your people feared.
What can I say, except... I’m needed?
It's just the way the path is cleared.
You’re welcome.
Yeah, you’re welcome.
(Bridge - Slower, almost spoken word, heavy bass)
And thank you...
For the shame.
For the fame.
Without me, you’d be nothing but a name.
(Whispered) They threw me to the sea...
(Outro - Fading out, slow pounding drum)
You're welcome.
Yeah, you’re welcome.
(Fade) Just a demi-guy...
