Hieronymus Lyrics

I have seen eyes in the trees
I heard the devil howl
Got down on my knees and prayed
But I went back for more
My appetite is whet

I recall in my childhood
You aroused in me
Thoughts of no good
I used to melt
Into hell, liquefy

My appetite is whet for
Hieronymus, I walk with you
When I'm sleeping
When I wake up in your world
I'm not dreaming
And when I melt
I can go anywhere
Slip under the door unawares

I have a thousand eyes, Hieronymus
I have seen angels loving
On a bed of nails
Distant drumming
I used to melt
First my eyes, then my soul
My appetite is whet...

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.

what an exceedingly dull piece of music

oh well, I guess it more than matched the lyrics that accompany it, though
