All The Old Powers Lyrics

A ghost sneaks around
A ghost sneaks around

All the old powers
Are called about
To straighten and firm
Those presets of sound
Against the non-linear language of the unbound
A ghost sneaks around
A ghost

All the old powers
All the old powers
MC power
MC power
All the old powers
All the old powers
MC power
MC power

(a ghost)

MC power
MC power

The free, the self defined,
The anti-cliche
The radical connector
Of the non-linearity
The principle of difference hold things apart
We shrink and we grow
A natural art
To straighten things up
Is the power card
Played against the infinite start

All the old powers
All the old powers
MC power
MC power
(x4)

All the old powers (x8)

We shrink
We shrink
We shrink
We shrink
We shrink
And we grow
We shrink
We shrink
And we grow

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.
