Bloodline Lyrics

Lines of evil men who regret nothing their hands smooth silk white
porcelain mouths stitching lies
but I am the one who's left here to degenerate
living the moment that I stop breathing
am this curse of retribution
I am this collapsed engine of hate that burns
the indignation of the ones who feel it rise inside
raze all mental structure systems that resist parasite
and the absolute infestation of consciousness
taste now this reckoning for father's blackened bloodline
our revelation is
silence our wings are lame pulled from groundless heights fitted with an eyeless stare of tangled gray hallucination gravitating wires collapse all hope
we are dead dreams
no way out forever in the throes of succession
over and over I eat your sin
re-living the moment that I stop breathing

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.
