Hymn Lyrics

I danced at your wedding
For the bride and the groom
I danced through the shadows
And I danced in that room

And I gave up salvation
Just to dance at your death
I waited there and I held my breath

I danced on the pavements
But I stepped on the cracks
It hard to dance with the devil on your back
And I looked up to heaven
But the angels replied:
"You will dance till the day you die"

But don't be afraid my dear
Close your eyes and dry your tears
I will not forget you and I will not lie
I will dance till the day I die

I danced over water
But I drowned in the sea
Devils swam all over me

And I fell through the darkness
Right to the deeps
Swallowed whole while the angels weep

But don't be afraid my dear
Close your eyes and dry your tears
I will not forget you and I will not lie
I will dance till the day I die

I will not forget you and I will not lie
I will dance till the day 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.
