A breath ignites in the falling dark A pulse breaks loose through the rising gloom A step holds true through the shifting cold A will stands strong beneath the shadows’ doom Night drops hard on my steady breath Fear cuts deep but I move ahead Shadows lean as the cold expands I hold firm while the dark commands Winds break sharp through the fractured air I push on though the burden’s there Steps feel strained but I keep the pace Courage stirs in the hidden space Shaking ground as the cold digs in Breaking air where the storms begin I feel fire in the turning night Still I brace for the coming fight I stand firm as the shadows pull Fire climbs through the fractured hull Through the sway I refuse the break Courage sparks in the turning wake Courage hits through the heavy dark I strike back with a burning spark Shadows crack but I hold the frame Driving hard through the tightening flame Keep the fire as the cold divides Light breaks loose from the force inside Cold winds cut as the shadows lean I breathe slow just to hold the scene Storms roll hard through my tightened frame I hold fast to my rising flame Pain digs in with a jagged drive I stand firm just to stay alive Fear breaks wide but I won’t retreat Strength returns in the pulse I keep Cracks in fear start to flare and spread I push through where the dark has bled Lift kicks in through the shaking air I rise up from the pressure’s glare I won’t bend as the pressure climbs Strength breaks through in the tightening lines I rise up from the cold divide Holding fast as the shadows slide Fall through fire as the night expands Find the core where the witness stands Push the dark from the inner door Rise again with a brighter core Courage drives through the heavy night I strike on with a burning light Shadows crack but I hold the frame Breaking past what the cold became Keep the fire as the dark divides Light breaks loose from the force inside I hold strong through the driving storm Courage burns in my grounded form From the place where the shadows bend I rise up as the night descends
