The Adversary Lyrics

Ancient serpent. Betrayer. War machine. Empires and kingdoms rise in your name. Towers are still being built. The dead lead the blind. A plague upon our house. Twin cities burn, pillars of salt are lost to the dust of time. Will you profit the world? Will you profit the world? Will you profit the world? Will you profit? No. Prophet, this world means nothing. Prophet, this world means nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing... Oh what a shame that we must learn of life from death. What a shame that we must learn of life from death. Take this world to the brink of war. KINGDOM. EMPIRE. REICH. Hell is coming. Better to die for truth than live for nothing. Better to die for truth than live for nothing.

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.
