Coming of the Century Lyrics

This is the coming of the century
This is a movement in time
We're digging for the strength to change
We're calling for a place to live

This is the coming of the century
This is the end of the mystery

This is a surge of a growing tide
This is the end of the mystery

Everybody wants the shrine to crumble
Everybody wants to see tomorrow
Everybody wants the wind to listen
Everybody wants to leave a place here

This is the coming of the century
This is the end of the mystery

(Solo)

Everybody wants the shrine to crumble

Everybody wants to see tomorrow

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.
