Shoot the Messenger Lyrics

This fate unspoken twice written to page
Now burnt alive by a decision
And now removed until the angels fly
There’s a point where one of us will fail
Shoot the messenger
The winding road
Alone with destiny
Shoot the messenger
The consequence
Alone will take me
Well I broke the laws you wrote
Across your face the instrument of my destruction
Now you’ll be forgotten ‘till the end
Of the day
Nevermore will we look into your eyes
Shoot the messenger
The winding road
Alone with destiny
Shoot the messenger
The consequence
Alone will take me
The fight has come to your doorstep
To your doorstep
Some day
You will find me here
On that day you’ll know
You’ll know this fate unspoken twice written to page
Now burnt alive by a decision
And now removed until the angels fly
There’s appoint where one of us will fail
Shoot the messenger
The winding road
Alone with destiny
Shoot the messenger
The consequence
Alone will take me

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.
