Never Forgive the Angels Lyrics

On a road, forever
He will be riding to me
Metal death, cliffs exploding
Sirens moan to me

Nightmares come and they don't go
For my love is gone
And I will never forgive the angels for that
And I will never forgive the angels for that

On a road, forever
He will be riding to me
Devil hearts explode
Beside me

Nightmares come and they won't go
For my love is gone
And I will never forgive the angels for that
And I will never forgive the angels for that

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.

Natasha explained to Pilerats what the song is about:

"There’s a song called Never Forgive The Angels which is very angry and I think it’s really important not to get rid of one thing or the other, but you have to go through it and, like you explained, you had to go through those things and let out those emotions and sit with that. Spitefulness or anger or resentment kind of contort things and create monsters out of people, because that’s storytelling too and the human experience and I think that can create great works and great villains and great dark sides, and we wouldn’t have Star Wars if we didn’t have the villain."
