The Great Forgiver Lyrics

When I died I walked into the light, but what I saw I didn't like.
Well I went to heaven but I didn't go in.
They don't condemn the sinners they condemn the sin.
Heaven is full of fucking scum, if they live like pigs they will die like one.
There will never be enough forgivness.
St Peter I must confess, i'm more of a devil than my life suggests,
Tell god its appreciated but I was born in hell, hell is where we made it.
And if god is a great forgiver, then all the scum will be there with me.
They bury the men but not the sin, they just say a prayer.
And take them with them, Heaven is full of fucking scum, if they live like pigs they will die like one.
There will never be enough forgiveness.
St Peter I must confess, i'm more of a devil than my life suggests,
Tell god its appreciated but I was born in hell, hell is where we made it.
St Peter I must confess, i'm more of a devil than my life suggests,
Tell god its appreciated but I was born in hell, hell is where we made it.

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.

seems heaven and hell aren't all that different. they're both full of sinners. some were forgiven, some were not. no matter where you go, you just can't seem to rid yourself of scumbags!!!!

What doesn't make sense to me, is that this implies that the forgiveness was done at random.
