You Know My Name
"You Know My Name" is the theme song of the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale, performed by American musician Chris Cornell, who wrote and produced it jointly with David Arnold, the soundtrack's composer. The film producers chose Cornell because they wanted a strong male singer. Cornell and Arnold tried to make the song a replacement theme for the character instead of the "James Bond theme" reflecting the agent's inexperience in Casino Royale, as well as an introduction to Daniel Craig's grittier and more emotional portrayal of Bond.

Lyrics
Odds are, you won`t like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes I`ve deceived
I`ve seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can`t deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
If you come inside, things will not be the same
When you return to my night
If you think you`ve won
You never saw me change
The game that we have been playing
I`ve seen diamonds cut through harder men
Than you yourself
but if you must pretend
You may meet your end
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can`t deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die
The coldest blood runs through my veins
Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel
(Forget how to feel)
Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
(A spin of the wheel)
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can`t deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
(You know my name)
You know my name
(You know my name)
you know my name!
You know my name!
You know my name!
