Blessed Black Wings Lyrics

Long to live the path that saves my soul
Away adapted forced to live so low
Gone's the will to want to see the light
Somber visions cause the path I've strived

Sooth the sayer revels in my death
Some would think I'm just a lunatic
The blood I bleed must be black indeed
Speak the devil in my time of need

Blessed black wings
Blessed black wings
Blessed black wings
Blessed black wings

Subterranean the house of worms
Enter in and let my voice be heard
They call to me bearing evil grins
Accounting all here is the den of sins

Blessed black wings
Blessed black wings
Blessed black wings
Blessed black wings

Pleasure's treasures leave me hypnotized
Blacking out, follow the trail of lies
Demons seen with a knife in back
Eat your mouth out with your cocaine slack

Shadow powder makes me come alive
Walking zombie mumbles depressed sighs
The blood I bleed must be black indeed
Speak the devil in my time of need

Blessed black wings
Blessed black wings
Blessed black wings
Blessed black wings

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.
