Lord Of The Flies Lyrics

the years the locusts ate are mine. you have played with fire too long
and now i have come back to claim what is righteously mine. this is
my empire i have and the streets i never walked the bodies i never
buried will be out there waiting for you who have played with fire
too long now i am back to tell you what to do look on my words and
despair look on my works and rejoice rejoice i am the lord of the
flies i am the insect the lord of the flies i am the parasite
this is my empire i am the lord of the flies i am the insect the lord
of the flies i am the parasite this is my empire these are my people
i am the lord of the flies.

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.
