I Have A Timer In My Game And It Works Fine But Whenever I Reset It Resets The Timer?

As you can see it's a simple script, just using for loops to act as timers and changing the values I made when it ends. Like I said in the title the timer resets to intermission 30 seconds when I die in the game. Is there a way to make it keep counting down/be the same for everyone?

while wait() do


    --Won't start until these load
    local seconds1 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Seconds")
    local prefix1 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Prefix")


    --Default text and variables
    local label = script.Parent.ScreenGui.TextLabel
    local seconds = seconds1.Value
    local prefix = prefix1.Value

    --Changing variables
    seconds = 31
    prefix = "Intermission"


    --Round/Intermission loop
    for i = 1,seconds do
        wait(1)
        seconds = seconds - 1
        label.Text = prefix.." "..seconds
    end


    --Changing variables
    seconds = 11
    prefix = "Get Ready"


    --Round/Intermission loop
    for i = 1,seconds do
        wait(1)
        seconds = seconds - 1
        label.Text = prefix.." "..seconds
    end 


    --Changing variables
    seconds = 61
    prefix = "Game"


    --Round/Intermission loop
    for i = 1,seconds do
        if _G.DeadPeople >= game.Players.NumPlayers then
            seconds = ""
            prefix = "Game Over!"
            wait(4)
        elseif _G.DeadPeople < game.Players.NumPlayers then
            wait(1)
            seconds = seconds - 1
            label.Text = prefix.." "..seconds           
        end


    end


end

I tried to make the script as neat as possible for you. I appreciate any help!
