Leave the Riches Lyrics

Leave the riches, take the bones.
I'm ready

to be robbed. I'm ready
for your thieving hand, leave

the riches, take the bones.

Leave the linens,takes the bones;
I'm ready

to undress. I will become
a breathing man;

leave the linens, take the bones.

Oh, take those clothes from him.
Let him go.

Leave the riches, take the bones.
I'm ready to be

robbed. I'm ready
for your theiving hand, leave

the riches, take the bones.

Leave the linens, take the bones;
I'm ready to undress.

(Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice.)

I will become a breathing man;
leave the linens, take the bones.

Oh, take those clothes from him;
let him go!

(Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice.)

Oh, take those clothes from him.
Let him go.

Leave the linens, take the bones;
I'm ready to undress.

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.

Son Lux communicates the deepest possible thoughts while using only a few words. Words that are loaded with meaning for Christians and those with knowledge of holy scriptures jump from this piece and send the listener to levels of meditative reflection that are normally hard to attain. The incredible musical techniques poured out for the listener in this piece make it extremely pleasant to experience.
