Impending Doom Lyrics

Crawling through ages in search of dignity
Stained with the backlash of filth we call humanity

Brother, what have we done?!

Draining the life force of anything within our grasp
Selfless needs and dirty deeds
We leave nothing to chance at all

Mother, what have we done?!
Father, what have we done?!

Creating a wasteland we sink slowly awaiting death
Born to suffer, live to kill, our motto of all mankind

Brother, what have we done?

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.

Through our (society's) greed / selfishness / ignorant / apathy we've in effect created an uninhabitable (or "bad") world.

The song is questioning our generation (and those of the past) what have we done and why have we left such am "impending doom" for our future generations to inherit.

I love the riff at the start (and around the chorus). Very chunky!!
