Penance Lyrics

lay your head upon my breast
hear the heart
i surrender to your open arms
i accept you as you are--
and what you will become
follow me
follow - your heart -----
follow me
follow your ---- dream
lay your head upon my breast
hear the heart
i surrender to your open arms
i accept you as you are.......
and what you will - be come
a kiss is a sacrament
my prayer is a partnership
a kiss is a sacrament...
lay your head upon my breast
hear the heart ---
i surrender to your open arms
i accept you as you are
and what you will become
and what you will become
follow me
follow your heart
follow me
follow your dream

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.

I continue to lovingly KISS every copy of The Men Album from my website in blue lipstick. You can't get THAT from an MP3 download! I sign every copy to the person ordering it also.
The kiss is in reference to the lyric : 'a kiss is a sacrament' from the song entitled : "Penance." -Jarboe
