He Who Must Not Be Named

Verse 1 There’s a whisper in the shadows, a name they never speak, A fear that chills the strongest, a curse upon the weak. The night is full of silence, the past is full of flame, They call him by no word at all, He Who Must Not Be Named. Chorus He Who Must Not Be Named, ridin’ through the night, Leavin’ trails of sorrow, leavin’ trails of fright. His shadow keeps on lurkin’, though his body’s gone and maimed, The world still shakes in silence at He Who Must Not Be Named. Verse 2 Mothers hold their children close, fathers guard the door, But evil has a way of slippin’ through the floor. His mark is burned in memory, his darkness still remains, Though time has tried to bury it, He Who Must Not Be Named. Verse 3 Some say he’s a ghost now, some say he’s alive, Some say he’s a serpent just waitin’ to arrive. But I’ve seen the lightning scar, I’ve heard the whispers low, And I know one day the world will face the shadow it don’t know. Chorus He Who Must Not Be Named, ridin’ through the night, Leavin’ trails of sorrow, leavin’ trails of fright. His shadow keeps on lurkin’, though his body’s gone and maimed, The world still shakes in silence at He Who Must Not Be Named. Verse 4 But the boy who lived is risin’, and the fire’s in his veins, One day he’ll meet that darkness, and break its chains. The outlaw’s reign is over, though the fear still flames, We’ll sing no more in silence of He Who Must Not Be Named. Bridge Some names are like curses, some names are like chains, But speakin’ out the truth can break the dark remains. Chorus He Who Must Not Be Named, ridin’ through the night, Leavin’ trails of sorrow, leavin’ trails of fright. His shadow is always lurkin’, though his body’s gone and maimed, Our world shakes in silence at He Who Must Not Be Named.
