Monuments Lyrics

All hail the shrine to the apex of self-absorption. All hail the shrine, you worshippers of corruption. You’re so impressed with yourself. Self-centered and unaware. You bask in your own decline. Your stench pollutes the air. You're a monument to yourself. And the monuments you've made to yourself, will one day come crashing to the ground. And the crowns you wear that you gave yourself so we would stare will one day fall around your neck as you draw your final breath. You are your own demise. Just look at what you've made us; greedy, bloated, shameless whores. Integrity is sold so cheaply to feed the greedy and rob the poor. All you kings will be made low, you would not see but you were shown. Crashing to the ground. All hail the shrine. All hail the shrine. All hail the shrine. To the apex of self-absorption.

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.

What's ass to mouth? You'd lick its ass, metaphorically? And yes, I also like the song as well as the band.
