In This Shallow Grave Lyrics

Who is your god - is he not mine?
Who is your devil - are we the same?
What makes you worse
What makes me better

Never to trust again - How long have I got?

In this darkened maze
They keep me awake - they scream at night
Screams at night

Who is your master
In this shallow grave

Born to die for a lie
I have no soul - I have no pride
Genocide

Where is justice in this hell?
Where is liberty - I paid the price
My life blood runs dry
Slowly drained from me

Never to trust again - How long have I got?

In this darkened maze
They keep me awake - they scream at night
Screams at night

Who is your master
In this shallow grave

Born to die for a lie
I have no soul - I have no pride
Genocide

Screams at night
Who is your master
In this shallow grave

Born to die for a lie
I have no soul - I have no pride
Genocide

Alone in this shallow grave
I die

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.

This... song... rips... faces.... off!

It eats picks for breakfast, it destroys elbow joints Jeff Hanneman style, it melts eyeballs and screams heads off!

What a tune, why has noone commented? The whole album is virtually flawless....this is coming from someone who thought Doomsday Machine and Wages were average with a couple of gems (Burning Bridges being one of the best!)

This one kicks Burning Bridges in the teeth!
