144,000 Gone Lyrics

As the bleak of dusk ordains the eve
For the chosen
Intensified magnetism blares
In through the night
Echoed whispers of patience led by no refusals
And all that remained were the leeches scratching for space...
Lift us up take us away
Leave us not behind to decay
Let us see the ascension
To know departure is sure
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
Colossals reap the skeptics muddy cyclones turn a blissfully
Awaiting fate with bitter taste life goes on just the same
All of sudden sorrow builds with no escape in view
Your time here is through
And the master of deception keep the secret
To the clue from me and you
How do we know where do we look to find
A way out from tormented territories
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
All of sudden sorrow builds with no escape in view
Your time here is through
And the master of deception keep the secret
To the clue from me and you
How do we know where do we look to find
A way out from tormented territories
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door

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 song is about 144,000 people who wait somewhere and get abducted and wait for the UFO hatch to open or "the opening of the door". As they fly into space they realize that they've been deceived and are going to be experimented on and seek a way to escape.
