The Swarm Lyrics

And I stand on shaking ground
The earth moves beneath my feet
And I shout, "forgive me"
But there's no God listening
And these clouds surround us
Only black and greys I see
And we found, this time, on
Our weakness it will feed

Is this the end of the world?
I cannot bear to watch it burn
While we're crawling in the dirt
Is this the end of it all?
Oh, we used to stand so tall
I barely recognise us any more

I don't believe in the things I cannot see
The sky is dark
They are coming for me
I shout, "forgive me"
But these bones are now too weak
And I try to speak but hope
Has been taken from me

Is this the end of the world?
I cannot bear to watch it burn
While we're crawling in the dirt
Is this the end of it all?
Oh, we used to stand so tall
I barely recognise us any more

Is this the end of the world?
I cannot bear to watch it burn
While weï¿½re crawling in the dirt
Is this the end of it all?
Oh, we used to stand so tall
I barely recognise us any more

Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end?
Is this the end of the world?

Jealous Minds Think Alike

And I stand on shaking ground
The earth moves beneath my feet
And I shout, "forgive me"
But there's no God listening
And these clouds surround us
Only black and greys I see
And we found, this time, on
Our weakness it will feed

Is this the end of the world?
I cannot bear to watch it burn
While we're crawling in the dirt
Is this the end of it all?
Oh, we used to stand so tall
I barely recognise us any more

I don't believe in the things I cannot see
The sky is dark
They are coming for me
I shout, "forgive me"
But these bones are now too weak
And I try to speak but hope
Has been taken from me

Is this the end of the world?
I cannot bear to watch it burn
While we're crawling in the dirt
Is this the end of it all?
Oh, we used to stand so tall
I barely recognise us any more

Is this the end of the world?
I cannot bear to watch it burn
While weï¿½re crawling in the dirt
Is this the end of it all?
Oh, we used to stand so tall
I barely recognise us any more

Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end?
Is this the end of the world?

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.

This song has been written as the soundtrack to a new Thorpe Park rollercoaster, also called the Swarm in the UK. And I love this song!
