The Calm Before I Break

Still as stone, cold as night… The calm before I break takes flight.

I hold my tongue, I hold my breath, Walk the wire between life and death. The fire sleeps, but it stirs inside, Waiting its turn to cut and ride.

This is the calm before I break, The silence the storm will take. One spark, one move, one mistake, This is the calm before I break.

My hands don’t shake, my eyes don’t close, I wait like a shadow nobody knows. But danger hums like a rattlesnake, This is the calm before I break.

This is the calm before I break, The hour the devil wakes. Dust don’t lie, and bones don’t fake, This is the calm before I break.

Don’t test the silence, don’t call my name, The ground remembers, the sky holds flame. The wolf stays quiet until the take, That’s the calm before I break.

This is the calm before I break, My blood’s the vow I make. No cross, no chain, no road to take, This is the calm before I break.
