Prayers of a Dead Man Lyrics

At night I just stare amid my self-destructive toys
Shouting to the sky is anyone up there
My eyes drip blood red a vow once made
I've come to dread this shame
This guilt I bear is killing me stone dead
Dead man

Something to regret a chance point in time we met
Caught in a momentary rush of devotion
My eyes drip blood red a vow once made
I've come to dread this shame
This guilt I bear is killing me stone dead

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
This dead man's prayer do not forsake

Pray dead man

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.
