Lady Marlene Lyrics

Velvet and satin and puppets on strings
Everyone´s dancing with Lady Marlene
Fear is the color of all that they wear
Mother of pearl palace cold like her heart of stone

Silently soliders dance to they fall
phantoms of love seductive and cold
they are draped in dread in her masquerade
Lady Marlene takes your hand and commands the…

Chours:
(North)Wind to blow ghosts to the sky above
Deep in despair they cry where is the love?
The north wind blows ghosts to the sky above
Deep in despair they cry where is the love?

Murk is her grip on the world
Calamity rules when her flag is unfurled
Turn your backs on Marlene and let there be love
but pallid and pale you all fall asleep as the..

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.

Brings to mind Lovecraft, or maybe The King In Yellow. So haunting...

I like to think this is about some sort of horrific abomination that takes the form of a frightening, yet charming lady dictator.

@HonestMan That's pretty much spot on.

Brings to mind the song "Sympathy For The Devil" (by The Stones). However I do not think I have ever heard a more beautiful song by a more talented group than Katzenjammer. These girls mesh talent that in my opinion. Watching their video performance shows just how talented they are as a group and as individuals. The "change-up" of lead vocal by Anne Merit Berghein to background toward the end is an example of how the talent of this group works.
