[Verse 1] I rode beneath a blood-red moon, With thunder at my back, A broken vow, a restless soul, And shadows on my track. I buried every trace of me Beneath the cold black rain, But every road I leave behind Still whispers out my name. [Pre-Chorus] I changed my face, I changed my skin, But I can’t hide the storm within. [Chorus] The darkness knows my name, It carved it in the flame. No matter where I run, No matter what I’ve done— It follows like a shadow, Still calling me the same. I can hide from every living soul, But the darkness knows my name! [Verse 2] I found salvation in her eyes, A light I couldn’t hold, But loving me was dancing through A fire dark and cold. I left before the morning came To spare her from the pain, But somewhere in the howling wind, I heard that voice again. [Pre-Chorus] I changed my road, I crossed the line, But that darkness still keeps pace with mine. [Chorus] The darkness knows my name, It carved it in the flame. No matter where I run, No matter what I’ve done— It follows like a shadow, Still calling me the same. I can hide from every living soul, But the darkness knows my name! [Breakdown] I hear the steps behind me! I feel the fear inside me! Every loss— Every scar— Led me straight to where we are! You want my soul? Then come and take it! You forged these chains— Now watch me break them! [Bridge] Maybe I was born to wander, Maybe I was made to fall, But if the darkness thinks I’ll kneel, It doesn’t know me at all. Let the heavens turn to ashes, Let the earth erupt in flame— If I’m going down, I’m going down With thunder in my veins! [Final Chorus] The darkness knows my name, But I am not ashamed. No matter where I’ve been, I won’t surrender to the pain. I’ve walked across the fire And risen through the rain. It may know the man I used to be— But it will fear the man I became! [Outro] It knows my scars… It knows my shame… It knows my past… It knows my name. The darkness knows my name!
