Loves of a Gnostic Lyrics

Rip the badges from our breasts
Just like the others
Impenitent brothers sway to the song of a new heretical dawn
We were right to fight
Subsumed by dumb clay
The sweet spirit must stay

I'm so, I don't know, what's the word?
My grasp of the verb is a weak one
Your grammar's a playground for fun

Tear the emblems from our sleeves
Just like the others
Apostate brothers please stay for the dawn of a new day
Watch the sun come up from the mud
Our cups are empty
Our wine has turned to ether
That's good and wine

Nothing does a body good
Like another body
Nothing does a body good
Like another body
Nothing does a body good
Like another body
Nothing does a body good
Like another body

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.
