Hollowed Ground - Deception's Ambition

(Verse 1)
In the shadows of the court, whispers slither,
A figure clothed in darkness, igniting souls that shiver.
With eyes like burning coals, he speaks of truths divine,
But in the corners of the mind, his madness intertwines.

(Pre-Chorus)
A seer of the damned, a prophet of despair,
In the land of frost and fire, breathes the chill of winter air.
Some bow to his vision, some curse him to the night,
In the dance of incantations, they tremble at his sight.

(Chorus)
Deception's ambition, like a serpent's silver tongue,
Entwining hearts with shadows where the broken dreams are hung.
In this court of twisted loyalties, the vision starts to fade,
A mystic crowned in madness, a charlatan displayed.

(Verse 2)
With each word he spins, the iron curtain falls,
A theater of the damned, where the echoing silence calls.
He weaves a tapestry of lies, drenched in crimson rain,
The visions twist and shimmer, like a dagger in the vein.

(Pre-Chorus)
A throne of shattered dreams, adorned with funeral wreaths,
His whispers haunt the midnight air, like dying autumn leaves.
In the grip of delusion, the court becomes a cage,
Where truth is lost in echoes, and madness takes the stage.

(Chorus)
Deception's ambition, like a serpent's silver tongue,
Entwining hearts with shadows where the broken dreams are hung.
In this court of twisted loyalties, the vision starts to fade,
A mystic crowned in madness, a charlatan displayed.

(Bridge)
Burning candles flicker, casting shadows on the wall,
The hopes of a generation hang heavy like a pall.
In the tempest of his madness, the blasphemies take flight,
As the specter of his vision devours the light.

(Verse 3)
Echos of the faithful, their fervor turned to ash,
A kingdom torn asunder, in the wake of his mad crash.
With the last gasp of reason, the court descends in flame,
The lines of love and hatred, lost within his name.

(Chorus)
Deception's ambition, like a serpent's silver tongue,
Entwining hearts with shadows where the broken dreams are hung.
In this court of twisted loyalties, the vision starts to fade,
A mystic crowned in madness, a charlatan displayed.

(Outro)
In the ashes of his glory, the truth forever bleeds,
A tale of grandeur crumbling, born of deceptive seeds.
Deception's ambition reigns, a dark and cruel embrace,
A legacy of madness, in this damned and wretched place
