For We Have Always Been Lyrics

Wretchedly ancient, never to fade for we have always been Beyond immortal, beyond all time for we have always been

So cold and long a path we tread A fiery sphere to light our way Of human suffering we hone our art So hard and cruel do we remain

Silently we thrive on blood and grief The desperate cries that go unheard This mania is ageless Its legacy bled Remain'd unseen before their eyes

and once upon a time you thought the world was safe so tender and ideal yet poisoned at its soul

and so we now descend to Eden's pale remains finally reduced to a violent speck of dust

Wretchedly ancient Never to fade Beyond immortal Beyond all time

For we have always been

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.
