In Death Lyrics

O misery you live
I have been struck and am suffering
O misery you live
You take bread from hands
That hold so little
And show treason to a faithful heart
There is no healing balm of reason
O wretchedness, O misery
Fall upon mercy
Set thy altar here
Lifeless life cradles lifeless death
Set thy altar here
Fall upon mercy
O wretchedness, O misery
O misery you live
I have been struck and am suffering
O misery you live
O misery you live in death
Exaudi orationem (meam)
Quantus tremor est futurus
Exaudi orationem (meam)
The hour is at, parting is at hand
The hour is at hand
The hour is at, parting is at...

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.
