behemoth Lyrics

i climbed to the top of a mountain
i swam all the way ‘cross an ocean
i cried for so long
let my heart beat too strong

no, nothing is ever gonna change
what good is a moth to a flame
but you’d think I’d learn
after thousands of burns

i live like you are dying and love like you
live like you are dying and love like you
live like you are dying and love like you
already died.

i climbed to the top of a mountain
i swam all the way ‘cross an ocean
i cried for so long
let my heart beat too strong

i live like you are dying and love like you
live like you are dying and love like you
live like you are dying and love like you
already died

ah-ah
ah-ah
ah-ah
ah-ah

you’re already dead
you’re already dead
you’re already dead
you’re already dead

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.
