Tordah Lyrics

I've chosen my way of life I'll drink my every coin
And even if I'm broken I'll drink my homemade moonshine
Until it is all in my head and I will meet my fellows
Those who creep around at nights and will not allow me
To be acceptable, to be respectable, to be normal,
To be a decent man
But I'm neurotic, I am vehement, I am withdrawn,
A psychotic man
Unsuccesful, hesitant
Tordah!
Tordah!
Don't have much lifetime left the rest I'll spend in deep
Tordah!
Don't have much lifetime left the rest I'll spend in deep
Tordah!
And with all my fellows we will take our place on the bottom
We will gather in your neighborhood to reach our destination
We will drink our past, we'll drink our future for you my friend
So, that you'll have a fixed point, a point of comparison
To be acceptable, to be respectable, to be normal,
To be a decent man
But I'm neurotic, I am vehement, I am withdrawn,
A psychotic man
Unsuccesful, hesitant
Tordah!
Tordah!
Don't have much lifetime left the rest I'll spend in deep
Tordah!
Don't have much lifetime left the rest I'll spend in deep
Tordah!

I've chosen my way of life I'll drink my every coin
And even if I'm broken I'll drink my homemade moonshine
Until it is all in my head and I will meet my fellows
Those who creep around at nights and will not allow me 
To be acceptable, to be respectable, to be normal,
To be a decent man
But I'm neurotic, I am vehement, I am withdrawn,
A psychotic man
Unsuccesful, hesitant
Tordah!
Tordah!
Don't have much lifetime left the rest I'll spend in deep
Tordah!
Don't have much lifetime left the rest I'll spend in deep
Tordah!
And with all my fellows we will take our place on the bottom
We will gather in your neighborhood to reach our destination
We will drink our past, we'll drink our future for you my friend
So, that you'll have a fixed point, a point of comparison
To be acceptable, to be respectable, to be normal,
To be a decent man
But I'm neurotic, I am vehement, I am withdrawn,
A psychotic man
Unsuccesful, hesitant
Tordah!
Tordah!
Don't have much lifetime left the rest I'll spend in deep
Tordah!
Don't have much lifetime left the rest I'll spend in deep
Tordah!

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.

A Scandinavian melodic death metal drinking song, what else? Man, Kalmah kicks so much ass, their solos are so wicked I get tears in my eyes every time I play any of their songs. Even their new albums (For the Revolution included) are still sick, something that can't be said for a lot of evolving bands.

I love the bit in Tordah where the guitars just play that lowest powerchord there. Awesome composing.
