Safe Below Lyrics

they said they would prevent a war to stop the suffering for ever more no wars to fight no blood to shed but they were lying we'll soon be dead chorus: and now you're as good as dead and now you're as good as dead the button is pushed it's all begun those alive they'll soon be none in the distance a yellow sun and still we pray for death to come chorus the troops are out there on patrol passing burnt lumps as they go my clothes are in shreds i can barely see whilst all around is death and disease chorus i picture maggie in my mind safe below she's feeling fine she has no burns no torn off limbs she sits on her arse and plays silly games chorus

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.
