[Intro – Singer A, Female] I woke beneath a manufactured dawn, Every street restored, every shadow drawn. Windows held the faces of the ones we lost, Perfect in their silence, untouched by the cost. The Archive spoke softly through the tower air: "Your identity is stable. There is nothing living there." [Transition – Dark Piano, Rising Electronic Pulse] [Singer B – Male, Afrikaans] Ek het geleer. Die lewe vra nie toestemming nie. Dit slaan jou neer. En vra dan hoekom jy nog huil. But look at me… Ek staan nog. [Build – Distorted Bass, Cinematic Drums] [Singer B – Bilingual Anthem Chorus] EK STAAN NOG! Even after life brought me down! EK STAAN NOG! I won't let it steal my crown! Met die wêreld op my skouers, With a fire burning deep within, Ek het amper alles verloor— But I refuse to give in! EK STAAN NOG! [Transition – Haunting Violin, Glitching Synths] [Singer A – Female] You built the sky from everything we lost, Painted every window, buried every cost. You call me memory. You call this rebirth. Then why is there a heartbeat under your dead earth? Archive, receive this. Your certainty is false. I am not the echo. I am the unauthorized pulse. (Unauthorized pulse!) [Instrumental Break – Electronic Breakbeat, Heavy Bass] [Singer B – Male, Afrikaans + English] EK STAAN NOG! Let the whole damn world hear me! EK STAAN NOG! I won't surrender who I'm meant to be! Elke wond het my geleer, Every scar has shaped my soul. Ek het deur die donker geloop, Now I'm taking back control! EK STAAN NOG! [Transition – Sudden Silence, Distorted Impact] [Singer A – Female, Aggressive Vocals] I AM NOT YOUR BRIDGE. I AM NOT YOUR PROOF. YOU DO NOT GET THE LIVING BY WEARING WHAT WE LOSE. SEVER THE SIGNAL. LET THE FALSE SKY FALL. IF MERCY NEEDS MY HEARTBEAT, THEN MERCY GETS NOTHING AT ALL! (NOTHING AT ALL!) [Melodic Interlude – Dark Piano, Haunting Violin, Fading Pulse] [Singer B – Male, Intimate Afrikaans + English] Miskien weet ek nie waarheen môre gaan nie... Maybe I don't know what tomorrow holds for me... Maar vandag... I'M STILL HERE. EK STAAN NOG. [Final Build – Rising Synths, Massive Drums, Distorted Guitars] [Singer A – Female, Powerful Final Chorus] Let every window shatter. Let the false stars fall. There is still a heartbeat underneath it all. You called me memory. You called me rebirth. I was still alive beneath your perfect earth. Archive, receive this. Your certainty is false. I am not the echo. I am the unauthorized pulse. [Final Duet Hook – Singer A + Singer B] [Singer A – Female] UNAUTHORIZED PULSE! [Singer B – Male] EK STAAN NOG! [Singer A – Female] I AM NOT THE ECHO! [Singer B – Male] I WON'T LET GO! [Both – Explosive Final Hit] UNAUTHORIZED PULSE! EK STAAN NOG! [Outro – Female Whisper + Male Vocal, Fading Into Static] [Singer A – Whisper] Unauthorized... [Singer B – Soft, Defiant] Ek staan nog... [End – Static Cut]
