The Crucible Lyrics

A moment's breath before it all began

I wait beneath this fragile sky

A heartbeat skipped, another thought

And you are there, I rise to meet your eyes 

And we return to go

A lifetime looking to the stars

But here we are again

Still caught inside the choices we have made

It's time to start anew

I light a spark

The night time throws a blanket round this place

We watch the embers grow

The light and heat burn bright against the cold

It's time to cast it out

I see a beautiful horizon 

Waiting for us over there

Sitting on the start line

Waiting for the last control

Sitting on the start line

Faces pressed against the window

The crucible surrounds us

Taking over all we know

Ready to fly now (ready to fly now)

Ready to ride to now (ready to ride now)

Ready to carry us to where we need to go

I see a beautiful horizon

Waiting for us over there

Can we make this count?

I see a beautiful horizon

Is it out of reach for us?

Don't get found out now (don't get found out now)

Fight the doubt now (fight the doubt now)

You fear the things you do not know

The crucible defines us

Taking over all we know

Don't believe it (don't believe it)

Don't believe it (don't believe it)

Don't believe it (don't believe it)

Don't believe it, no

I see a beautiful horizon

Waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for 

Time to cast it out

I cast it out

I cast it out

I cast it out

I cast it out

All those festering fears.  Flimsy assumptions

Confidence drowned by floods of bad choices

Imposter syndrome. Chronic dysfunction. Impossible standards

Flawed inner voices

I cast it out (I cast it out)

I cast it out (I cast it out)

I cast it out (I cast it out)

I cast it out (I cast it out)

The crippling sadness and dark hidden passions

My absence of faith

The doubting. The blame. The anger. The sorrow. The lack of compassion

Ignorance, impotence, misplaced shame

I cast it out

I cast it out

I cast it out

I cast it out

I cast it out

I cast it out

I cast it out

I cast it out
