They Live Lyrics

They live despite attempts to stop and destroy our dreams
They’ll wish they never raised their hands to be our enemies
Fight through crowded halls of hate between these tears aflame and show a love resting inside this heart of me
I know, crucify my heart because I am not letting go
I know everyone else is dying
Death no longer frightens me
I am a heart of gold
I’m not ashamed of my life and its legacy
This is right for me
They live, they suffer, they chose their destiny
They live; they prosper, in the end it’s worth everything
Fear is not an option
I won’t have it in me
Our hearts will endure if we sacrifice everything

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.

When I hear this song, it makes me think they're singing about being straight-edge...does anyone else get that feeling?
