"Cut The Ties" lyrics
JT Music Lyrics
(Hollow Knight Silksong song)
(feat. Andrea Storm Kaden)
Feel the pull of the light
If you follow, you'll find
Peace of mind
In a silken slumber
All tethered tight
Have you taken the sacrament? Gave you a taste
Of playing the odds when you're placing your faith
Vacant eyes, hollow shells
Was the promise of heaven a bargain with hell?
Above you, there looms a cobweb of lies
Onward you drone as you drown in lullabies
How haunting a hymn, sewn your soul in its threads
So, what's left of you once every strand has been shred?
You work hard and worship for what in exchange?
Nothin' but the rosaries formin' your chains
As the choristers order you to rise and recite
This melody's all that you'll have left to fight
This is my song to write
Intertwine dark and light
May this sword be my guide
With every chord that I strike
This is my song to sing
Not to soothe, but to sting
Come alive, cut the ties that bind
Be free from the strings
What we thought was divine
Was all by design
Ivory towers built of bones
I'm in their shadow, but here I shine
Show you the kinda bein' who is highest
For a sinner is above the pious
Freedom is the fibre of all I weave
So you won't decide in what I believe
You tried to contain this hunter you bred
The eye of my needle now only sees red
But what's in one's nature thou shall not deny
But that doesn't mean I can't make it mine
This is my song to write
Intertwine dark and light
May this sword be my guide
With every chord that I strike
This is my song to sing
Not to soothe, but to sting
For a knight serves her kingdom, not its king
Nor its queen
I'm the heir to a throne, but forsaken my crown
It's so pale when compared to the fate which I'm bound
Never more will you kneel at the feet of false gods
An industry concealed by cathedral facades
But discordant voices ascend from beneath
Like an abyssal force gone unfed, now unleashed
No more empty vessels sent off into night
Each heartbeat's a ballad, and ours will unite (Ours will unite)
This is my song to write
Intertwine dark and light
May this sword be my guide
With every chord that I strike
This is my song to sing
Not to soothe, but to sting
Come alive, cut the ties that bind
Be free from the strings
If you follow, you'll find
Peace of mind
In a silken slumber
All tethered tight
Have you taken the sacrament? Gave you a taste
Of playing the odds when you're placing your faith
Vacant eyes, hollow shells
Was the promise of heaven a bargain with hell?
Above you, there looms a cobweb of lies
Onward you drone as you drown in lullabies
How haunting a hymn, sewn your soul in its threads
So, what's left of you once every strand has been shred?
You work hard and worship for what in exchange?
Nothin' but the rosaries formin' your chains
As the choristers order you to rise and recite
This melody's all that you'll have left to fight
This is my song to write
Intertwine dark and light
May this sword be my guide
With every chord that I strike
This is my song to sing
Not to soothe, but to sting
Come alive, cut the ties that bind
Be free from the strings
What we thought was divine
Was all by design
Ivory towers built of bones
I'm in their shadow, but here I shine
Show you the kinda bein' who is highest
