Lockstep Marching Lyrics

I'm calling all cars and ships at sea
Give me hope for peace in this century
Long ago a war began
a never ending
marching band

Lock Step Marching
Lock Step Marching

Why not strap a gun to your thigh?
Sweet bullets bombs and missles
Prey the angels straight they fly
So long ago a parade began
A never ending procession

Lock Step Marching
Lock Step Marching

Nature she speaks of the turn, turn, turn
Her ebb, her flow, her freezing and her burn
But ever since my world began
There's been a constant beating drum
As the wheat gets trampled
The weak get trampled
The peace gets trampled down

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.
