Lyrics
You Know My Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you take a life, do you know what you'll give
Odds are you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes I've deceived
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
If you come inside, things will not be the same
When you return to the night
If you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we have been playing
I've seen this diamond cut through harder men
Than you yourself
But if you must pretend
You may meet your end
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel
(Forget how to feel)
Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
(A spin of the wheel)
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you ready to die
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
(You know my name)
You know my name
(You know my name)
You know my name!
You know my name!
You know my name!
