Departure Lyrics

Suspended above the wasteland
Our mission accomplished
All life has been erased
Our masterpiece lies as a disaster beneath our feet
All systems restore and rebuild
Stabilise the Earth
Reconstruct all that was lost
Like a parasite they had clung to the world
Burrowed deep in the ground of the earth destroying all
Prepare new life for a final chance of survival
We must not fail
We have returned to the surface to claim this world
Through failure we gain a superior understanding of ourselves
A new world will be built upon the ashes
Imprinted projections of our own image
A reflection of self
Rectify the design
Implement perfection
All life has been erased
We must learn from our mistakes
All life has been erased
Manufactured precisely; a species never seen before
I was set upon this beautiful planet programmed to protect
Centuries slowly pass me and I watch the world forever changing
I have returned to reclaim this 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.
