Text Marquee is cutting off

I have to use a marquee with quite a long string of text. I've worked this code a few different ways but in the end, the text is always cut off after a few words (or the first line). I need the entirety of all the text to continue scrolling. If we could keep it within the CSS, that'd be ideal. Thanks!

You can see it here: http://braidsmusic.com/test

.scroll-left {
  height: 100px;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
}

.scroll-left h1 {
  position: absolute;
  width: 150%;
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  line-height: 50px;
  text-align: center;
  /* Starting position */
  -moz-transform: translateX(100%);
  -webkit-transform: translateX(100%);
  transform: translateX(100%);
  /* Apply animation to this element */
  -moz-animation: scroll-left 10s linear infinite;
  -webkit-animation: scroll-left 10s linear infinite;
  animation: scroll-left 10s linear infinite;
}


/* Move it (define the animation) */

@-moz-keyframes scroll-left {
  0% {
    -moz-transform: translateX(100%);
  }
  100% {
    -moz-transform: translateX(-100%);
  }
}

@-webkit-keyframes scroll-left {
  0% {
    -webkit-transform: translateX(100%);
  }
  100% {
    -webkit-transform: translateX(-100%);
  }
}

@keyframes scroll-left {
  0% {
    -moz-transform: translateX(100%);
    /* Browser bug fix */
    -webkit-transform: translateX(100%);
    /* Browser bug fix */
    transform: translateX(100%);
  }
  100% {
    -moz-transform: translateX(-100%);
    /* Browser bug fix */
    -webkit-transform: translateX(-100%);
    /* Browser bug fix */
    transform: translateX(-100%);
  }
}

  • scroll-left width automatic fill with text width. So use fit-content;
  • changed start position to 30%

body{
overflow-x:hidden;
}

.scroll-left {
  height:auto;
  width:fit-content;
}

.scroll-left h1 {
  height:auto;
  margin: 0;
  /* Starting position */
  -moz-transform: translateX(30%);
  -webkit-transform: translateX(30%);
  transform: translateX(30%);
  /* Apply animation to this element */
  -moz-animation: scroll-left 30s linear infinite;
  -webkit-animation: scroll-left 30s linear infinite;
  animation: scroll-left 30s linear infinite;
}


/* Move it (define the animation) */

@-moz-keyframes scroll-left {
  0% {
    -moz-transform: translateX(30%);
  }
  100% {
    -moz-transform: translateX(-100%);
  }
}

@-webkit-keyframes scroll-left {
  0% {
    -webkit-transform: translateX(30%);
  }
  100% {
    -webkit-transform: translateX(-100%);
  }
}

@keyframes scroll-left {
  0% {
    -moz-transform: translateX(30%);
    /* Browser bug fix */
    -webkit-transform: translateX(30%);
    /* Browser bug fix */
    transform: translateX(30%);
  }
  100% {
    -moz-transform: translateX(-100%);
    /* Browser bug fix */
    -webkit-transform: translateX(-100%);
    /* Browser bug fix */
    transform: translateX(-100%);
  }
}
