The Stolen Name - Fae Shadow Pacts - Part 1

The story of a name stolen by a Faerie and the consequences that shaped both of their fates. This is part I, more will be coming soon! Lyrics [Verse I] I never meant to stray this far, the trees leaned inward as if they knew, their bark split apart with ancient scars, The first snows thinned the veil in Winter's hue, My pulse a drum against the season's breath, the cold rose sharp like a whispered promise, and each stumbling step flirted with death. night pressed close as the sun vanished. These woods knew I was unclaimed and lost, and savored every drop I bled to frost. [Verse II] Then he stepped from the dusk’s deep chill, the shadows had chosen to take shape. Beautiful, terrible, hoar frost made real He asked, "Do you wish to escape this fate?" “Your lovely name is all I ask.” His voice was that of Winter made whole. “You need only place your hand within my grasp. And I will take you beyond mortality.” He smiled like a king accepting surrender, as if owning my fate would be tender. [Chorus] Better nameless than bound, Better mortal than faerie crowned. He took my name, it caught in his throat, I said no, left him choking on that stolen note. Shackled immortality means nothing to me, I would choose to remain free. [Verse III] I spoke my name as a trembling question, a brittle shard of breathless sound. Cold with fear and desperation, never meant as an offering bound. I wished to stay in this world even one more hour. Then he laughed and smiled so playfully, He caught the sound of me with his power, My body trembled, my breath faltering, He brushed a gentle caress across my face, stealing my name as delicately as bridal lace. [Verse IV] He reached towards me for his faerie pact. To claim my mortality he offered his hand. I spat and slapped away his contract. His eyes confused, he didn't understand. I told him I had not accepted his vow, cold iron in the rejection I spoke. I’d die nameless under the frozen boughs, before I'd be shielded by his cloak. I cursed him to choke on my name. I swore I would never be his to claim. [Chorus] Better nameless than bound, Better mortal than faerie crowned. He took my name, it caught in his throat, I said no, left him choking on that stolen note. Shackled immortality means nothing to me, I would choose to remain free. [Verse V] My name was a question when it was spoken, A debt was owed, he hadn't paid. His offer not accepted, his deal broken, His punishment the curse I had laid. He froze as the judgment earned struck true, Coughing blood as he reached for his own throat, I hadn't taken his hand, his deal fell through, In that moment his voice was smote. Wintry eyes betrayed an agony I shouldn't see, As he collapsed to the ground, I turned to flee. [Verse VI] My strength spilling out as each breath grew thin Does he stalk me through the frozen vale? Am I losing my mind as the dark closes in? Death climbing my veins as my strength grows frail. The night waits for me to falter and fall, to break, to plead, to lose my will, but I keep walking through Winter’s thrall. I'm so cold that I can't feel the chill. My blood still warm, still fighting for each breath. If I don't escape, my fate is cold death. [Bridge] Something shattered in the frozen dark, a bleeding ache I thought was my own The forest trembled and broke apart I pressed on hurt and alone. [Final Chorus] Better nameless than bound, Better mortal than faerie crowned. He took my name, it caught in his throat, I said no, left him choking on that stolen note. Shackled immortality means nothing to me, I would choose to remain free. [Verse VII] Dawn broke thin as a wounded seam, a pale ribbon cutting through the trees, I followed its path through this waking dream. Chasing that hope, someone found me. The nightmares banished by the light, my senses no longer wandering afraid. Everything I feared slipping out of sight, I didn't look back as the darkness frayed. Was he real or an illusion made by me? Had I dreamed of the Winter faerie? [echoed close] Better nameless than bound, Better mortal than faerie crowned. He took my name, it caught in his throat, I said no, left him choking on that stolen note. Shackled immortality means nothing to me, I would choose to remain free. I would choose to remain free. Free.
