Lyrics & concept: Tales of Power and Doom

"The River Knows My Name"

The wind still carries whispers,
Of faces lost to time,
I followed ghosts through barren lands,
To where the black waters shine.

Once I wore the crown of ashes,
Once I fought beneath the flame,
Now I walk where shadows linger,
And the river knows my name.

The river knows my name — it sings it to the deep,
Through blood and pain and memory, through dreams I could not keep.
It calls me home again, where sorrow has no claim,
The world forgets, but still — the river knows my name.

I’ve seen the stars grow colder,
Heard angels’ wings decay,
I gave my heart to silence,
And watched my soul fade away.

But in the dark, a current speaks —
The water carries truth and flame...

The river knows my name — it sings it to the deep,
Through blood and pain and memory, through dreams I could not keep.
It calls me home again, where sorrow has no claim,
The world forgets, but still — the river knows my name.

And when my bones lie broken,
Beneath the willow’s shade,
The river will remember me —
Though every mark will fade.

The river knows my name — it sings beyond the rain,
Through endless dawns and shadows, through joy and mortal pain.
When all the songs are gone, one truth will still remain —
The river knows my name... the river knows my name.
