Lyrics
INTRO
Cold snaps tight along the street
The city holds its breath
VERSE 1
Windows flash, then fade to black
Breath hangs once, then disappears
Boots hit stone, the echo stays
Bouncing hard against the walls
The cold cuts through the wool and seams
Jaw set firm, eyes locked ahead
Something old keeps counting time
Underneath these narrow streets
PRE-CHORUS
Hold your ground, don’t give an inch
Feel the moment start to bend
Every second pulls us closer
Waiting for the hit to land
CHORUS
Hear it now, it’s cutting through
Clear and bright against the dark
Raise it high, don’t pull away
Let it fly, let it hit hard
We don’t wait for signs or permission
We don’t soften when it’s time
Stamp the ground, feel it answer
This is winter
This is now
VERSE 2
Hands move fast but stay in line
Every motion clean and sure
Strings pull tight, the room responds
Every sound knows where to fall
Faces up, the count stays sharp
Breath held steady, eyes ahead
What was loose locks back in place
Like it never left the frame
PRE-CHORUS 2
No delay, no turning back
Feel the pressure start to rise
Every step is forward motion
Right before the moment breaks
CHORUS 2
Hear it now across the space
Loud and open through the night
Raise your voice, don’t second-guess
Let it soar, let it collide
We don’t wait for signs or permission
We don’t ask to cross the line
Stamp the ground, feel it answer
This is winter
This is now
BRIDGE
Everything drops to a breath
The room leans into the sound
Years fold tight into this second
Where the count begins again
What we carry through the cold
Is the sound that pulls us home
FINAL CHORUS
Hear it close, hear it clear
Right between the fear and force
Raise it high, don’t pull away
Let it stay, let it roar
We don’t wait for signs or permission
We don’t turn from what’s begun
Stamp the ground, feel it answer
This is winter
This is now
OUTRO
Let it ring
