Lash Upon Lash Lyrics

Forsaken by His closest friends, treated like a thief.
See them draw their weapons; see them draw their swords.
See them draw their weapons; they draw their swords.
He was taken like a criminal, His innocence among the thieves.
Liars, false witnesses, scourged to please the crowd.
With each lash the skin is torn. Lash upon lash, ripping flesh from the
bone.
He took our sickness; He took our sorrow. By His stripes we are healed.

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.

Currently, my favourite song from the new "Horror" album.

Forsaken by His closest friends, treated like a thief.

See them draw their weapons; see them draw their swords. See them draw their weapons; they draw their swords.

He was taken like a criminal. His innocence among the thieves.

Liars, false witnesses, scourged to please the crowd. Liars, false witnesses, scourged to please the crowd.

With each lash, the skin is torn. With each lash, the skin is torn.

Liars, false witnesses, scourged to please the crowd.

With each lash, the skin is torn. With each lash, the skin is torn.

Lash upon lash. Ripping flesh from the bone. Lash upon lash. Ripping flesh from the bone.

He took our sickness. He took our sorrow.

By His stripes we are healed. By His stripes we are healed. By His stripes we are healed.
