Rivers Of Lust Lyrics

Violent hands come at midnight
Hold me down
I can't make a sound
In their arms
Still unwanted
Crave the child
Be forever wiled

Stranger, danger
Release me

Mercy's hiding
It let me go
Hurts to know
Mercy's watching
Watching me drowning
In rivers of lust

Morning sun
Break the shelter
Turn back time
Wash away my crime

Betrayer, slayer
Release me

Mercy's hiding
It let me go
Hurts to know
Mercy's watching
Watching me drowning
In rivers of lust

Mercy's hiding
It let me go
Hurts to know
Mercy's watching
Watching me drowning

Mercy's hiding
It let me go
Hurts to know
Mercy's watching
Watching me drowning
In rivers of lust

Found at noon
Clutching still the stone

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.

It's about a vigin being raped, very eerie and disturbing song, but she somehow makes the song sound beautiful.
