O'er Hell and Hide Lyrics

i took my black teeth down to the sea
brother of mine
i washed myself in your steely gaze

we read your name o'er jaguar hide
brother of mine
you saw terminus and bruised your knees

i lashed their bodies to the wheeling suns
brother of mine
you tossed wet bluebirds in the air

i sensed the whetstone's dark embrace
brother of mine
tender and rude like a tiger skinned

we once were lechers, rake and rogues
mother of mine
you're coming through

we swam with sages, trout and thorns
father of mine
you're coming through

we swallowed truncheon, shield and child
sister of mine
you're coming through

we spoke with sinners, snakes and slaves
daughters of mine
you're coming through

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.

First to comment! but I don't really have a great sense of what Baroness is saying here... Its awesome! feel like it should be in the Conan the Barbarian movie soundtrack, the epic-ness and imagery they call to mind. Like a catalog of what the group went through...
