The City Is Under Martial Law Until We Have Annihilated Them Lyrics

Faint as my head hits the ground
and watch the colour of your clothes
Slowly fade to black
As this motion picture ends
Its sharpening to the senses
Through your eyes glorified in this last scene
In this last scene

Your ageing years make this town beautiful come summertime
Your ageing years make it so hard to prove you're right
Come this saturday night
Leaves your life in my hands
Because theres nothing they can do for you now
This saturday night leaves your life in my hands

I said it best with those words I kept from you. x2

Your ageing years make this town beautiful come summertime
Your ageing years make it so hard to prove you're right
Come this saturday night
Leaves your life in my hands
Because theres nothing they can do for you now
This saturday night leaves your life in my hands

Faint as my head hits the ground
and watch the colour of your clothes
Slowly fade to black
As this motion picture ends

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.
