{FEMALE LEAD — low, intimate, ancient restraint} [Verse I] Rain on the hood like a funeral hymn Neon bleeding through the cracks in my skin I still hear Eden when the highways go still Still taste the smoke of the first broken will Black feather shadow in a truck-stop light No heaven left that can call this right I wear my silence like a second face And every road still remembers my name {MALE HARMONY — distant, ghostlike} [Pre-Chorus] I walked away I never ran The fire stayed Inside my hands {FEMALE LEAD — controlled, hypnotic} [Chorus] I’m still here Breathing through the ruin Still whole Even when the world keeps choosing chains No crown No altar No god above me now Only the sound Of my name Moving through the rain {FEMALE LEAD — softer, emotionally guarded} [Verse II] I learned love slow like winter learns spring Careful with the hearts that remember me Some nights I almost feel human again Until the old dark wakes beneath my skin Northern wind through cathedral bones One touch from you and exile feels like home But I know loss like the back of my hand That’s why I hold too tight when I finally can {MALE HARMONY + DISTANT FEMALE WHISPERS} [Pre-Chorus] No chain left Inside my soul But freedom cuts Deeper than control {FEMALE LEAD — stronger, heavy-rock intensity rising} [Chorus] I’m still here Walking through the after Black wings folded underneath this skin They call me myth Because truth sounds dangerous When a female survives what should have ended her {RITUAL WHISPERS — layered, distant} Ash and neon Fire and rain Ancient breath Modern veins {FEMALE LEAD — near spoken, intimate} [Bridge] You’d never know me in the crowd Standing quiet while the city burns itself down But if you looked long enough through the smoke and light You’d remember why the dark fears me at night {FULL CHOIR + FEMALE LEAD — massive but restrained} [Final Chorus] I’m still here Not fallen Not forgiven Still carrying the first refusal in my veins No throne No master No heaven left to claim me Only fire Only breath Only will Unbroken {OUTRO — FEMALE LEAD ALONE, soft, exhausted, eternal} I never left I only learned How to live Among the ruins
