Sear Me Lyrics

Sear Me

Incendere suus - Set her on fire
Damnare suus vita - Reject her life
Dare suus ad art ventus - Give her to the art of adversity
Capare suus - Take her
Et facere suus - And make her
Ferire suus persicum cutis - Kill her piercing the skin

Nudus, turpis - Naked, deformed
Putridus, findere - Rotten, split

Acerbus, crudus - Unmature, raw
Raptus, contemptio - Raped, contempt

Mordax, atterere - Mordant, trample
Inficere, bilis - Poison, gall
Nam tuus scelus - For your crime
Amabilis - Amiable
Tu licet perire - You let her die
Ad ante tu - Before you
Habere aequus sic [...]
Dolor nil finis - Pain never ends
Ego liberare art ultimus - I free the ultimate art of
inuria. of injustice

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.

The music is great, really top stuff. The singing / death grunting as well. The lyrics are crap, though.

As far as I can tell, all the nouns are masculine and in the nominative, and all the verbs are in the infinitive. The first line, "incendere suus", would more properly be translated "to set he on fire"; "damnare suus vita" is "to reject he life", etc. Unless, of course, I've really forgotten what little Latin I once knew.

Shame, really, because the song itself is very good. They should just have stuck with singing in English.

i read somewhere that Aaron basically just sat down with a latin-english dictionary, hence the bad latin grammar
