I GAVE YOU MY NAME

Verse 1

I should’ve burned you where you stood

A fleeting breath against my blood

A mortal lost, a fragile lie

I let you live — I don’t know why

No fear in you, no need to run

You looked at me like I was someone

Not claws, not fire, not a myth

You saw the ghost I buried with

Pre-Chorus

You asked my name — I let you in

That was my first and final sin

Chorus

I gave you my name — you gave me chains

Turned all my trust into my pain

You stood so close, you learned my scars

Then sold my soul to wear your stars

You call it power, I call it shame

You wanted a legend — I gave you my name

Now hear me roar through iron and flame—

I should’ve killed you when you came

Verse 2

You spoke of truth, of being free

Like you were something more than me

You touched the silence I became

And lit it up just to watch it break

I let you see what none have seen

The hollow space beneath the queen

No fear, no mask, no ancient lie

Just something left that wanted… life

Pre-Chorus

You said “I see you” — what a lie

You saw a throne you could occupy

Chorus

I gave you my name — you gave me chains

Turned all my trust into my pain

You stood so close, you learned my scars

Then sold my soul to wear your stars

You call it power, I call it shame

You wanted a legend — I gave you my name

Now hear me roar through iron and flame—

I should’ve killed you when you came

Bridge (breakdown / scream energy)

No scream — no tears — no mercy left

You carved your crown into my chest

Two thousand years, I stood alone

And still I let you call me “home”

You brought them back — the knives, the lies

The look of guilt behind your eyes

But guilt won’t break the chains you made

And I won’t forget the price I paid

Final Chorus (bigger, harsher)

I gave you my name — you gave me hell

Turned my silence into a cell

You ride my wings, you wear my pain

A king of ash, a god of chains

You took my trust, you took my flame

But I am more than what you tame

And when I rise, remember this—

You forged the storm you couldn’t kill

Outro (quiet, cold rage)

You hear them cheer… you hear them pray…

But they don’t know what you betrayed

Say my name…

Go on…

Say it again…
