Scavenger's Daughter Lyrics

This is the director’s cut. The version where the rest of us don’t get left out. For what it’s worth, I’ve always cared, just never wanted it show it. We’ve always wanted more but now it’s time to take it. It’s come from making love on the altar to dining with savage souls. Forgive me, I was born a plague into my mother’s arms. I am the black cloud that ruins your day. I am the voice that never goes away. We are the faithless and thou shall take no pity on me. Gone but not forgotten. Your demons will be left in your coffin. These eyes are bloodshot from no sleep but I will never sleep again.

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.
