Lyrics: Seconds Before the Light

Mirrors glowing, voices low Footsteps echo down below Hands that pull and hands that pin Hold it steady, breathe it in Fabric whispers, heartbeat loud Lost inside a moving crowd Every second tightening Every look is everything Don’t break now, don’t lose control Every doubt they’ll never know In the noise, in the blur Find the calm inside the storm Seconds before the light Everything feels like a fight Shadows pulling me tight But I’m ready to rise Hear the call, hear my name Step into fire and flame All the fear falls away In the flash, in the frame Cold air, warm skin Let the chaos settle in Eyes that meet for just a breath Hold me back from falling edge Whispers say, “you’re almost there” Hands still fixing strands of hair Time is folding in my chest One more moment, then the test Don’t break now, hold the line This is where you redefine All the noise fades to black There’s no turning back Seconds before the light Everything feels like a fight Shadows pulling me tight But I’m ready to rise Hear the call, hear my name Step into fire and flame All the fear falls away In the flash, in the frame Silence cuts through the sound All the world spins around Then it stops… then it’s clear This is why I’m here One step… one breath… one line Everything becomes mine Seconds before the light Now I’m done with the fight I don’t run, I ignite Let them see me shine Hear the call, hear my name No more fear, no more flame I become what they came Here to see tonight
