The One-Eyed Man Is King Lyrics

Calling spirits of the trees
It's pushing 98 degrees?
The mountain's ash
The river is steam

I'm walking in the desert stretching halfway across the globe
I'm mounting bodies, bouncing bones?
I'm coughing candy, sucking stones
I'm kicking cans, I'm bleeding sand

If I'm the final man
To raise a glove and fight your plan
Well if I am
I just throw my hand!

Calling! Falling!

I don't need a bandage around my eyes.
'Round my eyes!
You shall not steal these eyes?

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.

Reminds me of some sort of End Day scenario where only one man remains on Earth. It seems that humans were responsible for this apocalypse.

That's all the insight I can give.
