Reclaiming the name

The air is thick with the scent of your deceit

You wore my history like a trophy in the street

Thought you could bury me beneath the weight of years

And drown my legacy in a reservoir of fears

You wrote the ending with your crooked, blackened ink

And stood there smiling as you watched the anchor sink

But something older is stirring in the deep

A silent promise that I intended to keep

The ground is shaking, the marble starts to crack

There’s no more hiding, and there’s no more looking back

I crawled out screaming from the mouth of the grave

My Dark Angel reached down with the life that she saved

From the ashes of the fire and the fury of the flames

I am standing, I am breathing, I am reclaiming my name

You tried to break me, now you choke on every word

The quiet victim is the loudest voice you’ve heard

I built an armor from the scars you thought were weak

Now I’m the mountain and the thunder that I speak

Keep all your poison, keep the silence and the shame

I’m a Nephilim rising, and I’m stepping through the frame

I crawled out screaming from the mouth of the grave

My Dark Angel reached down with the life that she saved

From the ashes of the fire and the fury of the flames

I am standing, I am breathing, I am reclaiming my name

(Heavy riff / Building intensity)

Black wings around me, steel around my soul

I’ve taken back the pieces, now I’m finally whole

You had the hammer, and you shaped my own decay

But the shadows pulled me upward to the light of a new day

TO THE LIGHT OF A NEW DAY!

(Cinematic rock style with soaring, melodic leads)

I am not your silence

I am not your shame

(Reclaim my name)

I am not your victim

I am not your prey

(I’ve found the way)

My Dark Angel saved me

Now I’m here to stay
