Ballad of the War Machine Lyrics

Claws
Sliding down, these walls
Trails
Leaving ghosts in their wake
Crush
Feel the waves come in
Search
Wash away all their sins

Godspeed, travel well
Lightning in a bottle cracks a spell
Godspeed travel well
Fever through your body raising hell

Fate
Lead their souls away
Shake
As your senses awake

Godspeed, travel well
Lightning in a bottle cracks a spell
Godspeed, travel well
Fever through your body raising hell

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.

Sweet song. Very MGMT-esque.

Someone please tell me what these lyrics mean.
