The Calm Before I Break
TitanChord
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.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
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.
