That is not my name - Konrad Curze Song

[Intro] I walked where murder wore a crown of night I learned that mercy fed the endless blight The darkness raised me, taught me wrong from right And every sinner feared my coming sight [Verse 1] They curse my name, yet crime had ruled the street Their screams were harsh, but law was made complete I marked the guilty, made their judgment known A thousand watched, and feared to sin alone [Pre-Chorus 1 - 2 lines] There can be no justice without fear No fear without suffering drawing near [Chorus 1] That is not my name, Father, hear my claim I am Night Haunter, forged in fear and flame Kill a thousand men and hatred fills the air Kill but one in darkness, monsters bloom everywhere They see devils waiting in the shade They fear the sentence that my hands have made I became the terror they could not ignore So innocence might sleep forevermore [Verse 2] I saw the future carved in blood and stone Each path I walked still led where fate had shown You call me monster, yet your empire grew Through fear and threats no different than I knew [Pre-Chorus 2 - 2 lines] If you knew a fraction of what I've seen You'd know how cruel the fates have always been [Chorus 2] That is not my name, Father, hear my claim I am Night Haunter, forged in fear and flame Darkness does not judge, but I decree The price of every crime laid bare to see You call me wicked, savage, and untrue Yet I became the thing your silence drew I carried terror like a righteous spear And made a dying world remember fear [Instrumental Transition] [Bridge] You sent an assassin to prove me right I welcomed death beneath the shrouded night For death is nothing next to vindication My end became the final revelation [Pre-Chorus 3 - 2 lines] You cannot escape your fate's design The future's chains were always forged in time [EIC FINAL Chorus - 8 lines] That is not my name, Father, hear my claim I am Night Haunter, not the son you tame There can be no justice without fear No fear without suffering drawing near Darkness does not judge, but I decree The truth that every soul refused to see Death is nothing next to being right And I knew my fate before the final night [Outro - 4 lines] Now close your eyes and listen to the night The shadows whisper truths beyond the light You feared the monster standing at your door But fear itself will haunt you evermore
