Peace Sword (Open Your Heart) Lyrics

I was trained to ignore your pain
Open your heart to me
I'll [drain/trade] the sun of its light
Open your heart, and see

Open your heart to me (to be a soldier)
Open your heart, and see (?[you'll] [never] ?[overreach] [for])
Open your heart to me (to be a soldier, are you a sword...)
Open your heart (...for peace?)

Are the stars alive or dead?
They're as bright as can be!
?[All this matter] in my head
Open it up and see

[[interlude]]

Open your heart to me
Open your heart, and see
Open your heart to me
Open your heart, and see

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.

New here, so not sure how editing does/doesn't work (change didn't seem to go through, but I thought I'd at least add my notes here as it's not the best format anyways:

I was trained to ignore your pain Open your heart to me I'll [drain/trade] the sun of its light Open your heart, and see

Open your heart to me (to be a soldier) Open your heart, and see (?[you'll] [never] ?[overreach] [for]) Open your heart to me (to be a soldier, are you a sword...) Open your heart (...for peace?)

Are the stars alive or dead? They're as bright as can be! ?[All this matter] in my head Open it up and see

[[interlude]]

Open your heart to me Open your heart, and see Open your heart to me Open your heart, and see

*[[Notes: Words in []s are difficult to make out. Hard to find good sources that are even close to actual lyrics (particularly the background words), so if you have official lyrics, upload them. Background words in 1st "chorus" are sung directly after each "Open your heart".]]
