Burnt Earth Lyrics

Burn the flesh away, born anew, unworn and unused. Still inching closer to the truth. It slips through my hands, scorches my throat like desert sands. A million suns have razed this land. A barren scene. All life expired, the slate wiped clean. My hands and knees, the skin ripped away. It assures me I'm alive. I will survive, and I will deny. Blinded by pain. Embrace the hurt, release as hate. My be the master of my fate. Fight to my feet, iron-willed, refuse to defeat. The earth, my maker, I won't meet. Blistering, mercury rising, the endless sting. My eyes stay wide. No longer fearing, patiently I await the night. I will survive, and I will defy you. I've learned how to fight. I know how to survive my life. Burnt Earth.

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.
