Rule of Nines Lyrics

Can you see that all of the houses are burning
While our backs were turned away?
Inside the fire we'll be
Consumed by it all
Nothing but ash remains
Eyes scorched, reflecting flames
We will not go down without a fight
Eyes scorched, reflecting flames
We will not go down without a fight
But if we make it through the night
Would you forget this moment even took place?
And if we lose it all tonight
I promise you I won't forget your face
I won't forget you, no
I wont forget your face
We will not go down without a fight
Eyes scorched, reflecting flames
No, we will not burn down, no, not this time
Smoke filled sunrays are all I can see.
Sirens sing my name in background like a choir
They're singing
We'll have to lose it all to know what's really ours
So many days, we take for granted
So many nights inside ours rooms
We're just wasting time
We'll have to lose it all to know what's really ours

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.
