Mirage Before Dawn (versione 2)

Verse 1

Concrete cold beneath my feet

Echo chamber where the shadows meet

Warehouse doors that never closed

Mirror on the wall showed me the cost

Every scar got a story told

I was built for this — I hold the mold

Rust and steel, it's all I knew

Now the castle lights are breaking through

This ain't luck, this is the grind we chose

Something in me called this, called my name, called it home

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the light won't wait outside

Tell me how a ghost gets back his pride

Whatever built can never fully die

I am rising — don't you ask me why

Chorus

I stand before dawn where they say I'd fall

Every crack in the mirror turned into a wall

The night refused to let me go so slow

Mirage before dawn, this is how the legend grows

Verse 2

Silver keys unlock the upper floor

Voices whisper through the closed door

Strangers bow like I'm already king

Every doubt I silenced, echoes ring

This ain't bragging — this is arithmetic

I wrote every rule they wouldn't fix it

Now the castle's mine because I built it slow

The fire still burns from something I was told to throw

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the light won't wait outside

Tell me how a ghost gets back his pride

Whatever built can never fully die

I am rising — don't you ask me why

Chorus

I stand before dawn where they say I'd fall

Every crack in the mirror turned into a wall

The night refused to let me go so slow

Mirage before dawn, this is how the legend grows

Bridge

If I'm still standing at the breaking of the sun

It's not luck — it's every wound I've become

No king sits quiet — he makes the noise

I already know the crown, I just chose to choose

Chorus

I stand before dawn where they say I'd fall

Every crack in the mirror turned into a wall

The night refused to let me go so slow

Mirage before dawn, this is how the legend grows
