Vehemence the Pheonix Lyrics

Vultures tear flesh from the rotting corpses of those
destined for power
Only to be provisions for the scavengers that are left behind
Such an epic downfall, defeated and slain
Eternally butchered and back where they belong
The dirt absorbs the vital fluids
Draining from the king of the dead
Forked tongues and a million eyes
Watch the sun feast upon his flesh
A parasitic banquet, see him waste away
Collect the lifeless this earth is cleansed
Opportune for a new beginning, his holy creation restored
Victorious wings fill the sky to make sure it is done
Swords still drawn or at their side
Cadavers town limb from limb heaped burned and forgotten
The smoke and the stench of hells legion fills the air
Life returns infection eradicated
Affliction disappears but only for a little while
Transgression can only be held down for so long
But the serpent is home now
Such an epic downfall, defeated and slain
Fuck for all eternity, where they belong

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.

Awesome song. The first song of The Red Shore I ever heard. And it's amazing. Not too sure what it's about, obviously the death / murder or a king or leader? Possibly by an enemy, who then overruns a group of people, just generally takes over. That's my take on it
