[Intro – breathy, spoken, percussion begins softly]
Hey…
You feel it?
Don’t stop… don’t stop…
[Verse 1 – lead vocal, grounded rhythm]
If you’re in hell, keep walking
(keep walking, keep walking)
Don’t you stop to look around
If you’re in hell, just keep moving
(keep moving, keep moving)
Don’t let the fire slow you down
No safe place in the middle
No soft ground where you stand
Every pause just pulls you deeper
So take the only hand you’ve got—your hand
[Layered chant – backing vocals, percussive]
No stop, no stop
Keep going, keep going
No stop, no stop
Keep moving, moving
Step by step
Beat by beat
Keep your fire
On your feet
[Pre-Chorus – rising tension, vocal stacking]
One step, one step
Don’t turn around
One line, one line
Hold your ground
Don’t ask why
Don’t ask how
Just stay in motion
Here and now
[Chorus – full rhythm, dance-driven, call & response]
Through it, through it
That’s the only way out
Through it, through it
Don’t stop now
Through it, through it
Let your body take over
Through it, through it
Go a little further
Through it, through it
Even when you don’t know why
Through it, through it
Till you reach the other side
[Verse 2 – conversational, rhythmic push]
No turning back (no turning back)
No resting here (no resting here)
No looking down (no looking down)
No fear
Like a forest burning wide
You don’t stop to study flame
You just move until it opens
And you find yourself again
Middle isn’t where you stay
Middle is the way through
Every step you take inside it
Is a step that carries you
[Layered Chant Break – percussion forward, almost tribal]
No stop, no stop
Don’t delay
No stop, no stop
Find your way
Through the heat
Through the sound
Keep your feet
On solid ground
[Bridge – stripped vocal, then builds]
Not here to stay
Not here to break
Not here to fold
Not here to wait
You can feel it in your chest now
You can feel it in your breath
Every second that you move through
Is a second less of death
[Build – rising vocal energy, overlapping layers]
Keep going… keep going…
Don’t slow down… don’t slow down…
You’re almost there… almost there…
Don’t turn around…
[Final Chorus – full layered anthem, maximum repetition]
Through it, through it
That’s the only way out
Through it, through it
Don’t stop now
Through it, through it
Let your body take over
Through it, through it
Go a little further
Through it, through it
Even when it burns inside
Through it, through it
That’s how you survive
Through it, through it
Step by step you’ll break the night
Through it, through it
Till you find the light
[Outro – fading chant, echo layers]
Through it… through it…
Keep going… keep going…
No stop… no stop…
Through it…
