Order Upheld/Dissent Dissolved Lyrics

The triumph of boredom in everyday life carries the wounded back to the front line
These starving men will fill your cities and bring their broken dreams to market
All done, stuffed and overfed, contained and cross-examined
Robbed of all creativity, each temple is built to cave in
What life in the realm of dead things? What life in self-built prisons?
Divide and welcome the conqueror, spectate the spectacle –unleashed

Order Upheld, Dissent Dissolved

Inject, the image overrides, what songs can come from dead hearts?
Reason is the modern antichrist, where logic rapes all passion
These words that are never said aloud undo the fabric frozen
Revealing the daily sodomy - this course has NOT been chosen

Order Upheld, Dissent Dissolved

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.
