Lyrics
When your name is spoken
When someone mentions your name
Then your soul awakes as well
Your soul becomes active and aware
And there is no limit to the power of the spell
The spell associated with your name has limitless power
You can never leave it
You are bound to the spell, unable to escape
You can never let it lie
You cannot ignore or abandon the spell
You must find the speaker
You must identify the speaker of your name
For one of you must die
One of you must face death
The name, the name, the name, the name's the same
The repetition emphasizes the significance of the name
All your lives are on the line
All aspects of your life are at stake
All your lives are on the line
-And all your life you know you're dying
A constant awareness of mortality
What you know, you must not tell
Emphasis on keeping secrets and avoiding lies
What you know, you must not sell
-All the secrets you can keep
-All the lies you cannot speak
-Everybody steals your time
Time is precious, voices surround, and chaos is imminent
Thousand voices in your head
-Everybody, everybody
-Shouting fit to wake the dead
-When you see the devil
Encountering challenges and seeking relief, but justice is elusive
Then you're looking for relief
-And there is no relief
-And there is no justice
-Keep your tongue between your teeth
Warning about the consequences of being devilish
You can be the devil
-But you cannot count the cost
-All your time is wasted
-All your love is lost
-The name, the name, the name's the same
Reiteration of the significance of the name and playing the game
Play the game
-You can never be the one
-You can never be the one
-When you know all your love is gone
A realization that love is lost
What you know, you must not tell
More emphasis on keeping secrets and avoiding lies
What you know, you must not sell
-All the secrets you can keep
-All the lies you cannot speak
-Everybody steals your time
Time is stolen, and voices intensify
Remember me, what I said
-Everybody, everybody
-Shouting fit to wake the dead
-When you are alone here
Reflection on solitude, loss of time, and enduring hardship
In the houses of the blind
-Don't you ever wonder what happened to the time?
-You cannot regain it
-You cannot bring it back
-Stretched out on the rack
-The name, the name, the name's the same
Emphasizing the elusive nature of truth and avoidance of looking for it
The name, the name's the game
-You will never know the truth
-You will never know the truth
-We both know you will never look
-What you have is yours, my friend
Loss of a promising future and a hollow past, disassociating from dark symbolism
You will never see the end
-All your future gone to hell
-All your past an empty shell
-You can't keep upon your secret shelf
-You are not the Antichrist
-You are not the Lord of flies
Downplaying personal importance and dismissing dread
You are not important now
-You are not the one to dread
-Everybody, everybody
Everyone is involved in the game of names
The name, the name's the game
