Violet Ghost (My name)

Lyrics

[Intro — whispered] Violet fire in my veins, voices calling out my name. They said the blood would choose my fate... But I was never theirs to take. [Verse 1] Raised beneath a blackened crest, steel in hand and fear suppressed. Every scar became a lesson, every heartbeat a confession. They told me love would make me weak, taught me silence when I’d speak. Put a blade between two sisters, then watched us drown inside their whispers. I saw her fall beneath my hand, watched them bury what they planned. Six long years I wore the blame, while someone else rewrote my name. [Pre-Chorus] But ghosts remember. Blood remembers too. And every lie they buried came crawling back into view. [Chorus] I am the Violet Ghost, walking through the fire. You can bind my hands, but you’ll never own desire. I carried all your voices, I survived your design. You called me heir, you called me weapon— but this life is mine. Let the old world burn. Let the dead bells chime. I am Cecilia Spekai... and my name is mine. [Verse 2] A sister breathing in the dark, another ring, another mark. She wore the rage I never knew, believing I abandoned you. Amia, I believed you gone. You believed I chose to run. Two daughters shaped to hate each other, puppets for a father and a mother. But when the walls began to fall, I heard your childhood through it all. Three soft knocks and then two more— the secret rhythm from before. [Pre-Chorus] Stay with me. Don’t disappear. We lost too many years to everything they made us fear. [Chorus] We are the Violet Ghosts, walking through the fire. They can stain our hands, but they cannot own desire. We carried generations, every sorrow, every crime. They called us heir, they called us weapons— but these lives are mine. Let the old world burn. Let the dead bells chime. I am Cecilia Spekai... and my name is mine. [Verse 3] Crim stood where the bullets fell, followed me through every hell. Every vision showed him bleeding, every prophecy kept feeding on the terror in my chest— the fear that love would be my weakness. But he never asked to own me, never told me who to be. He held his hand beside my own and let the choice belong to me. No ancient vow. No blood command. No destiny inside his hand. Just one man who chose to stay when I kept pushing him away. [Pre-Chorus — softer] And he said, “I’m here because I choose.” For once, love wasn’t something someone threatened me to lose. [Chorus — bigger] I am the Violet Ghost, but I’m done living haunted. I won’t become the monster that my bloodline always wanted. I carried all their memories, but the future still is mine. No father’s creed, no cursed inheritance will ever draw the line. Let the old world burn. Let the dead bells chime. I am Cecilia Spekai... and my name is mine. [Bridge — dark, building] Ren in the white field, ghosts beneath the stone. A thousand stolen memories begging to be known. Sight became a weapon. Speed became a chain. Lives reduced to power, every face erased by name. So tell me who you were. Tell me what they stole. You were more than instinct. You were more than control. Daichi. Mei. Haruto. Akane. Kenji. Sachiko. Koji. One by one we call you home. One by one you're not alone. [Breakdown — heavy] I carry what is freely given. I release what isn’t mine. No vow born out of terror gets to rule this heart of mine. You said: “You are the heir.” I said: “No.” “You are the vessel.” “No.” “You are the weapon.” “NO!” [Final Chorus] I was the Violet Ghost, now I’m walking toward the dawn. The ring is broken, the voices faded, but the woman still lives on. My sister walks beside me. His hand is holding mine. No curse, no clan, no ancient blood gets to define my life. Let the mountains sleep. Let the last ghost rise. Let the past become a story, not a prison in my mind. I am not your heir. I am not your design. I am Cecilia Spekai... And my name is mine. [Outro — quiet] Three soft knocks... a pause... then two. I remember who I was. I remember what we lived through. No ring. No chains. No voice telling me what to do. Just my name... and the life I choose.
