Dust of My Name

[Musikstil: Paolo Nutini, Gary Clark Jr., hozier]

 


---

[Verse 1]
I’ve walked through halls of hollow men,
Heard my sins speak once again.
Every whisper scratched my skin,
Like a truth I kept within.

I lost myself in places cold,
Traded fire for worn-out gold.
And every step that fed my shame,
Left dust behind the sound of my name.


---

[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall, don’t lift me high —
Let me crawl and learn to rise.


---

[Chorus]
There’s dust on my name, but I’m still here,
Every shadow, every fear.
I’ve been broken, I’ve been blamed,
But I still breathe through the dust of my name.
No crown, no light, no flame —
Just the dust of my name.


---

[Verse 2]
I’ve tasted truth on iron lips,
Lost my faith in sinking ships.
Every tear became a stone,
Carried by a heart alone.

But even ashes hold a spark,
Even silence has a mark.
And though the world forgot my claim,
I still rise from the dust of my name.


---

[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall, don’t lift me high —
Let me crawl and learn to rise.


---

[Chorus]
There’s dust on my name, but I’m still here,
Every shadow, every fear.
I’ve been broken, I’ve been blamed,
But I still breathe through the dust of my name.
No crown, no light, no flame —
Just the dust of my name.


---

[Bridge – rau, leise, bedrohlich]
If I’m forgotten, let it be,
The truth will carve what’s left of me.
And when the world burns out its shame,
I’ll still live in the dust of my name.


---

[Final Chorus – dunkel, kraftvoll]
There’s dust on my name, but I’m still here,
Every shadow, every fear.
Break me down, I’ll rise the same —
I am the dust… of my name.
