Black Robed Avenger Lyrics

Black robed avenger
Rides upon a white horse through my mind
In search of love he finds
A spectral planet lost in space and time
He dreams of paradise
Suspended animation greets his eyes
Across barren deserts, a universal wilderness he sees
Palaces crumbled
Skeletons remain of fallen kings
Bleak storms and hurricanes
He braved to discover love's atomic grave
He found salvation
Within a void of loneliness and pride
The land of selfish man
A frozen world in winter's hands
A weary traveller
Stares into the heart of humankind
Souls of planet earth
Entombed inside a giant ball of ice

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.
