To Live For The King Lyrics

The rising of the sun
is seen by everyone,
and no one can deny that it's real
And when you hear the call
come crashing through the wall,
you just can't doubt the things that you feel

So lift me up
The time has come to sing
And give up everything
Live for the king

Though we fight against the rule,
the genius and the fool
are born to labour under the law
Before each man's a choice
Reject it or rejoice
The vision that the prophets are

So lift me up
The time has come, we’ll sing
And give up everything
Oh, live for the king

(Living for the king) Living for the king
(Living for the king) Walk with the king, talk to the king
(Living for the king) Something greater than you and I is the king
(Living for the king) Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice: it's an easy choice
(Living for the king) The time has come to sing
We're going to walk, walk with the king
(Living for the king) Open your eyes, open your eyes
The writing's on the wall, don't you be denied
(Living for the king) Reject it, rejoice: before each man's a choice
Living for the king

How Can You Live

Whiskey Seed

The rising of the sun
is seen by everyone,
and no one can deny that it's real
And when you hear the call
come crashing through the wall,
you just can't doubt the things that you feel

So lift me up
The time has come to sing
And give up everything
Live for the king

Though we fight against the rule,
the genius and the fool
are born to labour under the law
Before each man's a choice
Reject it or rejoice
The vision that the prophets are

So lift me up
The time has come, we’ll sing
And give up everything
Oh, live for the king

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.
