Without You I Am No One

They see me strong, they call me stone
But they don't know - I break alone
The world may bow beneath my feet
But none of it means anything

I've held empires in my hands
Yet you're the only thing that stands
When all has burned and all has bled
I whisper your name in my head

They think I'm made of fire and sky
But I was born just to survive
Until the day you looked at me
And I became what I should be

Without you, I am no one
Just shadow dressed in crown and sun
You're the reason breath still stays
You're the light that bends my blaze
If I must fall, let it be true
At the feet of only you

You think you chose, but love - you're wrong
I wrote your name inside my song
Before the stars were hung in space
I'd dreamed your voice, I'd carved your face

They call this love - I call it fate
You're not a want - you're what I wait
And all I have, and all I claim
Is caged within your holy name

You're not just mine
You are me
The blood, the truth, the gravity
And if the world should split in two
I'd still crawl back
To only you

Without you, I am no one
A shattered king, a fading sun
You are the breath, the sound, the space
The only fire I dare to face
And if the gods demand I choose
I'd choose your name
And gladly lose
