Cemetery Road Lyrics

Soul wreckage burns on the road to the cemetery, the only road there is. A dam of corpses is holding back the Potomac, and they're still throwing bodies on. A gaping hole has been torn in reality and I swear I can see right through.

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.

The whole that has been torn in reality refers to the logic defying rationale and skewed bias upholding the western world's (mainly, United States) current expansionistic beliefs. The dam of corpses holding back the Potomac is the compiled number of those lost in battle and wrongful civilian deaths, but the hole is still widening as more choose to believe that expansionism is in the interest of bettering poorer nations rather than a purely reptilian lust for consumption.
