The Silent Storm - The Hollow King

The song "Hollow King" from the album "Ashes to light" is a powerful alternative rock song about an inner outcast who turns loneliness and rejection into a source of strength and truth.

[Intro ]
I am the silence between heartbeats...
The question no one dares to ask...
The void that stares back.

[Verse 1 ]
I walk the margins of your maps
Where light forgets its own name
A wanderer in the architecture of absence
Carrying the weight of unseen chains
They built their cities on my forgotten dreams
And called my solitude a sin

[Pre-Chorus]
In every mirror I am the crack
In every crowd - the space between
But deep beneath this hollow skin
A quiet fire learns to breathe...

[Chorus ]
I am the outcast - the hollow king
Crowned by the darkness I wear within
From ashes of their indifference I rise
A sovereign of the unseen skies
This exile is my sacred throne
In solitude - I am not alone

[Verse 2]
They measured my worth in echoes of applause
Sold my shadows to the highest bidder
Taught me shame for the space I occupy
Yet every rejection carved a deeper sky
I swallowed their judgment like bitter stars
Now they illuminate my scars

[Pre-Chorus ]
What is a man but the distance
Between who he is and who they demand?
I crossed that abyss
And found a kingdom on the other side...

[Chorus ]
I am the outcast — the hollow king
Crowned by the darkness I wear within
From ashes of their indifference I rise
A sovereign of the unseen skies
This exile is my sacred throne
In solitude - I am not alone

[Bridge ]
Perhaps the universe needs its witnesses
Those who stand outside the light
To remember what it means to burn
To carry the weight of being unseen
And still choose to exist
Not despite the void
But because of it...
[Final Chorus]
I am the outcast - the eternal flame
Born in the silence between names
From the wreckage of their perfect world
A new constellation is unfurled
This exile is my holy ground
In the hollow - truth is found
I am the outcast...
I am the crown.

[Outro ]
In the end, we are all outsiders
Looking in...
And some of us
Choose never to look away.
