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.
this is the best intro that a cd could need. i like how it calms you, but it's only temporarly 'cause the second song on the album goes fucken crazy. satan damns dimmu borgir.
it sort of reminds me of lord of the rings, but pissed off and about to lead into the next piece called: BLESSINGS UPON THE THRONE FUCKING THRONE OF MOTHATFUCKING TYRANNY!!!!!!
"but frodo! that song is to metal for us!"
oh, sam. shut the fuck up and listen to the fucking song."
GOLEM: "Dimmu Borgir! My pecious, Hehehehe!"
yea it reminded me of lord of the rings too. this song has played out in my dreams many times to various scenes from my life. i would LOVE to make a movie using this song, among others obviously but....
I always get an image of someone walking around some huge, ancient structure (maybe the imposing ruins of a dark cathedral, or even a machine of some sort, like a 'mech) in a large chamber in a cave.
