Love and War Lyrics

Let others sing of love
I’ll sing of war
My enemy rank with hate
I’ll turn into my whore
I’ll slit his gut with bloodlust
From side to side
I’ll laugh and spit in his face
He’ll sob and then he’ll die
Let others sing of love ...
Oh yes I am a cursed man
I die by the gun
I stick my rifle up your arse
And watch your guts run
Let others sing of love ...
Humanity is something
I have trampled into dust
I’ll slit your gut from side to side
Consumed in my bloodlust
Let others sing of love
I’ll sing of war

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.
