[start] [Intro | low | wounded | close] One hand down. One breath left. The ground knows where I fell. [Verse 1 | restrained | dark pulse] I hear the weight before it moves. The whole field waits. The smoke pulls through. My name tastes wrong inside my mouth. I spit it loose. I push it out. [Pre-Chorus | rising | controlled] If this is the end let it look at me. [Chorus | soaring | full band] I stand here. I stand here. After all, I remain. I stand here. I stand here. Let it come. I remain. [Verse 2 | heavier | gathering force] The sky bends low. The fires lean. The old fear kneels beside my feet. My hand still shakes. My grip still holds. The blade wakes up when I say no. [Pre-Chorus 2 | bigger | breath held] If this is the end it can answer me. [Chorus | bigger | edge rising] I stand here. I stand here. After all, I remain. I stand here. I stand here. Let it come. I remain. [Breakdown | half-time | seething] Not for glory. Not for gold. Not because I am unafraid. I have crossed too much ruin to be moved by one more grave. [Breakdown Climax | raw | controlled scream] LOOK AT ME! [Bridge | stripped | exposed] I was down. I was almost gone. I heard the quiet call me home. But something answered underneath. Not hope. Not mercy. Me. [Final Chorus | full lift | cathartic] I stand here. I stand here. After all, I remain. I stand here. I stand here. Let it come. I remain. I stand here. I stand here. Bring the weight. Bring the flame. I stand here. I stand here. After all, I remain. [Outro | held final note | unresolved] I remain. [end]
