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…
