Birds of Hell Awaiting Lyrics

The birds of Hell are waiting
With their wings on fire
This ain't no Phoenix, baby
It's your death's desire
This is your death
This is your death
This is your death's desire
This ain't no Phoenix, baby
It's your death's desire
The birds of Hell are waiting
With their wings on fire
This ain't no Phoenix, baby
It's your death's desire
This is your death
This is your death
This is your death's desire

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 think the lyric should be "This ain't no Phoenix baby".

I believe this song is about dying and going to hell, but then again, Manson doesn't believe in heaven or hell, so he wrote the song as if hell were real, and someone (maybe himself) wishes to die or he thinks it's their time to die.
