Smrt Za Smrt Lyrics

pribjali zlocince (nailing criminals)
zive na drevesa (alive to trees)
strahotno mucili (cruelly torturing)
iztiskali oci (gouging out eyes)
rezali usesa in jezike (cutting off ears and tongues)
jim trli ude (crushing their limbs)
prebadali misice na nadlahteh (pierced the muscles of the upper arms)
ter jim skozi odprte rane vtikali (threading their bound hands)
prekrizane roke (through their open wounds)
cele zlocinske druzine pomorili (entire criminal families killed)
nekak specialist (some specialist)
za pobijanje krivih otrok in zena (for executing guilty women and children)
katerim so kar z zepnimi nozi...rezali...glave (who were beheaded with pocket knives)
smrt za smrt (death for death)
smrt za smrt (death for death)
smrt za smrt (death for death)
smrt (death)

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.

Well, lyrics or no lyrics, the title means 'Death For Death', probably a variant on 'an eye for an eye'.
