Ich stehe noch

[Intro]

[Deep synth pulse, slow industrial hammering, no drums yet, building tension]

[Verse 1]

[Spoken word, dry, every line a punch, baritone]

[Verse 2]

[Bass and synth enter, no guitar yet, dark and rising]

[Chorus]

[Wall of distorted guitars, epic and absolute, powerful operatic delivery]

[Verse 3]

[Music drops back, only pulse, vocals cold and quiet]

[Verse 4]

[Quieter, dangerously calm, almost whispered]

[Chorus]

[Full force, ghost choir underneath, maximum intensity]

[Bridge]

[Only piano and voice, each line suspended in silence]

[spoken, barely audible]

[single guitar strike, then everything explodes]

[Final Chorus]

[Maximum energy, full orchestra, choir, guitars, after last word one single drum hit then total silence]

[Outro]

[Original synth pulse returns, once, twice, gone]

[End]
