the descending path Lyrics

downfall of the earth/ and all life which exists/ suffering from greed-filled parasites/ a disease released upon the earth/ a plague of selfish beings/ without remorse, without regret/ they spill her blood, they rape her corpse/ polluting the blood which runs in her veins/ tearing pieces of flesh from her broken body/ her beauty stripped away/ by the feasting of maggots/ her body lies motionless/ her life torn away/ the blood drips from the incision/ a gaping wound across the neck/ by slicing her throat, we are slicing our own/ we are drowning in the waves of retribution

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
