Orchidfire Lyrics

Fear for the morning of a life in dream parade
Tears fall tomorrow, in autumn sun brigade

Fear...
Pain...
And the ever falling rain

Pray for the dawn when the colors start to fade
Swear by your God when all life is down the drain

Still...
Yearn for the everlasting flame

Turn to me,
Bless the sun,
All of this is sane.
Turn from me,
Start to run,
None of this is saved.

Life for the promise all fortune come today
Graceful we wander through a life of grey

Remember when the orchids dream
Try to save the blood that's falling from you
Will you be there in war and grief?
And try to speak the word of God?

Swear no remorse for the ones who lost their fate
Symbols of horror in handsome masquerade

Still...
No mortal soul to resignate

Wake from the coma you've chosen to create
Pay for your solace
And a life in vain

Still, call my name,
Drown your heart,
The orchid sky is dead.
Take my blame,
Fall apart in tides of no regret.
Kill the pain,
Hide the scars,
The orchids die now.

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.

A song about loss of faith, or about losing the desire to live. I'm inclined toward the former, but the latter is interesting too, as it employs a metaphor that life is a dream and to wake is death. I'm not sure about the significance of the orchids. The whispered passage starting with "Turn to me..." seems to be God giving the writer a choice - turn to me and accept all I have, accept this cruel world as sane, or turn from me and assure your own destruction."
