Forsake The Flesh Lyrics

Forsake the flesh
Time to deny the covet
Time to deny the covet
Eating the mind
World full of lust
Where you abide, desire much
Exocise the covet
Learning to control the flesh
Wanting to revive
Health within your spirit
Kill your desire
Kneeling in obedience
Block the sinful side
Covet not your neighbour's wife
Covet not his house
Count your many blessings
Stop and view the stars
Hear the birds whistle
Satisfied with life
Fight the need for greed
Content with self
Balance of faculties
Harmonise your soul
Deny the need for more
Thank God daily

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.
