pharoahs & kings Lyrics

we awake in a strange day
i try not to cave in
as the trials that face me
are slowly wearing me thin
down to the bone
time will turn me to stone
and leave me standing alone
we try to keep it on the down low
in time we learn to say
pharoahs and kings never mattered much to me
we live, i breathe in
we feel
believe what helps us wake up everyday
pharoahs and kings
i bet they did the same thing anyway
a minor glitch in the mainframe
could make the structure fall down
i found myself on a tightrope
it chills me just to look down
down to the bone
time will turn me to stone
and leave me standing alone
we try to keep it on the down low
in time we learn to say
pharoahs and kings never mattered much to me

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.
