Gokkushadow - Aftershock Market Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Through broken glass and twisted steel
My mother's sewing machine still spins in dreams
Gaziantep nights, the factory hums
Before the earth took everything we'd become

[Pre-Chorus]
The walls are shaking, just like my faith
Deniz, you left when the ground gave way
But I learned to dance on broken floors
While sirens sang their desperate scores

[Chorus]
Can't break me down, I'm made of gold
These fallen walls won't crush my soul
Dance through the ruins, that's what we do
Istanbul nights still pulse with truth
Yeah, we rise and rise and rise anew

[Verse 2]
Market stalls where silk once flew
Now dust and rubble, but we break through
Mama taught me how to thread the needle right
Now I'm threading hope through darkest nights

[Bridge]
They say our city's on its knees
But baby, watch me f*cking breathe
The factory's gone, but we survive
In every stitch, we're still alive
These hands remember what was lost
But hearts keep beating at all costs

[Chorus]
Can't break me down, I'm made of gold
These fallen walls won't crush my soul
Dance through the ruins, that's what we do
Istanbul nights still pulse with truth
Yeah, we rise and rise and rise anew

[Post-Chorus]
Watch me dance (Through the aftershocks)
Watch me shine (Through the broken clocks)
This beat won't die (In my blood it flows)
Our spirit flies (As the new world grows)

[Outro]
The earth can shake our foundations bare
But like my mother's thread, we're stronger where
We've been torn apart and sewn again
Dancing through the chaos, through the pain
Till dawn breaks over Gaziantep again
