Kveikur Lyrics

við skerum á
augnaráð
nú stingur í
ofbirta

nú bræða á
endalok
svo flæðir inn
dagsbirta

Nú teygir sig og togar
og togna út örmunum
reyna að móttaka
og brestu yfir hrapa stað
rennur blóð í æðum

Í skinninu
yðar á
krækir klónum í
og klórar í

Nú teygir sig og togar
og togna út örmunum
reyna að móttaka
og brestu yfir hrapa stað
reisum mér búkinn
hryggjasúluna
rennur blóð í æðum

Ekki segja neinum frá
Ekki segja neinum frá

Ekki segja neinum frá
Ekki segja neinum frá

Ekki segja neinum frá
Ekki segja neinum frá

Nú teygir sig og togar
og togna út örmunum
reyna að móttaka
og brestu yfir hrapa stað
reisum mér búkinn
hryggjasúluna
rennur blóð í æðum

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.

I get the feeling Jonsi sings "viÃ° biÃ°dum", which means something like "we waited/we have waited/we've been waiting" every two lines or so in the first part. Can anyone confirm/correct this please?
