Swords, Dragons, & Diet Coke Lyrics

Be gone with you, you articles of nothingness.
I don't know what I have to do to prove myself.
This audience is stern.
Grey is what has risen from the pits.
Choose a new medicine to control it.
(You thought you had me fooled. The grey.)
You, the grey is what had risen from the pits.
My lady, let us waltz.
We can ignore the firearms.
Guns manufactured by fear.
(I will never be forgotten.)
I will never forget you.
(I will never forget you.)
I will never forget you.
(With dead tongues and lonely hearts, we cough the pooison out.)
And yet I sing a song of hope.
(With dead tongues and lonely hearts, we cough the pooison out.)
I sing a song of hope.
Your final days approach.
This will be our final confrontation.
This will be our last.

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.

This may be my favorite song on the cd. it used to be dogs can grow beards.. but this means so much more to me. it's such a myriad of aspects regarding issues of faith, christianity, evil, temptation, materialism, etc. I think the metaphors are rather obvious to understand so this isn't much of a song to dive too deep into, but the part "With dead tongues and lonely hearts, we cough the poison out, and yet i sing of hope" ....i get chills.
