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.
Steve was going to write lyrics to this song, but it just seemed fine the way it was, and they were probably at a press for time, so they left it instrumental. I remember reading that somewhere...
Transylvania has some of the best signature changes in it, and the drumming is an excellent exercise, I always have fun drumming to this one. Kudos to Clive Burr.
There are numerous references to important historical events or legends throughout IM discography.
I find almost mandatory to have some knowledge about history (or at least do some research) if you want to fully enjoy IM songs and lyrics.

Even in this case, only the title was enough to open a heated debate :)
