Power Lyrics

Hammer & stone - Skin & bone
The children of fear are not alone
Rivers of tears - Flesh & blood
An eye for an eye that's all we've got
Power & truth - Desire & trust
Like the wind and the rain
Ashes and dust
Time will be ending
Life's a crusade
For a consciousness rising
Out of a desperate state
Into light and the future
Education is work
Into violent peace
That will conquer the world
We got the power
Excessive force
Industrial soundtrack to the holy wars

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.

Sort of a remake of Excessive Force's "Blitzkrieg"
