Elisabetha Lyrics

Quand le jour s’achève
Sur le monde ici bas
Quand la lune est ronde
Il y a des ombres
Mêlées à mes pas
Des tapis de brume

On dit que je serai pendue
Avant septembre
On dit mon âme perdue
Privée des anges

Elisabetha
Elisabetha

Quand la nuit s'achève
Dans la cage où je dors
Quand le soleil monte
Il y a des hommes
Qui me montrent du doigt
Qui hurlent à la honte

On dit que j'ordonne au ciel
Quand la pluie tombe
On dit je suis le mal
Je suis la sombre

Elisabetha

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.

From the booklet : "1692, Salem, Massachusetts. Dozens of people are found guilty of witchcraft : maidens whisper in a mysterious tongue, hide underhandly, and wander around... In the surrounding parishes, 300 people are arrested and tried. Many of these so-called witches and wizards are thus put to jail, tortured, some are even hung, in an inquisitive atmosphere. Heightened puritanism, Satanism, mass hysteria, shamanism from the nearby indian tribes : fear and confusion prevade. Many farmers flee from the cursed villages, harvests are left rotting on the stalk... Among the accused, a woman named Elizabeth Proctor was arrested, tried and set free, by a miracle. She inspired me to write this song."
