Throwing Stones Lyrics

And there was disapproval; it shone in your eyes
A silent contempt your voice struggled to disguise
Deceitful; our backs displayed for you-stab away

I've looked into your eyes and seen such cruel expanses
Four unforgiving years that I won't soon get back from you
Not one regret now from you…

And we were penitent though at heart we still believed
Confining, compliant clay molded in your scheme
Defenseless; blinded, betrayed by you-stab away

I've looked into your eyes and seen such cruel expanses
Four unforgiving years that I won't soon get back from you
Not one regret now from you…
Underhanded, spiteful, vindictive, calculated
Genuflect for her son and become what you hated

I have worshipped every God I ever knew
Every stone I ever threw into your empty well-
And I heard the echoes and what they said to me
Was mine alone and so…

I've looked into your eyes and seen such cruel expanses
Four unforgiving years that I won't soon get back from you
Not one regret now from you…
Underhanded, spiteful, vindictive, calculated
Genuflect for her son and become what you hated

Christian Vengeance (Exodus 12)

And there was disapproval; it shone in your eyes
A silent contempt your voice struggled to disguise
Deceitful; our backs displayed for you-stab away

I've looked into your eyes and seen such cruel expanses
Four unforgiving years that I won't soon get back from you
Not one regret now from you…

And we were penitent though at heart we still believed
Confining, compliant clay molded in your scheme
Defenseless; blinded, betrayed by you-stab away

I've looked into your eyes and seen such cruel expanses
Four unforgiving years that I won't soon get back from you
Not one regret now from you…
Underhanded, spiteful, vindictive, calculated
Genuflect for her son and become what you hated

I have worshipped every God I ever knew
Every stone I ever threw into your empty well-
And I heard the echoes and what they said to me 
Was mine alone and so…

I've looked into your eyes and seen such cruel expanses
Four unforgiving years that I won't soon get back from you
Not one regret now from you…
Underhanded, spiteful, vindictive, calculated
Genuflect for her son and become what you hated

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.
