City of Atlantis Lyrics

We've got a way to pave, for the young and brave
Had no time to shave, we've got a world to save
Thanks for all you gave, we just found your graves
We made it there too late, we hope you didn't wait

Let them chant this, in the city of atlantis
Let them chant this, in the city of atlantis

We've got a way to pave, for the young and brave
By inventing words, man have tamed the herds
From castle to cave, from master to slave
The men who walk on waves, walk on your graves
Walk on your graves
Walk on your graves

Let them chant this, in the city of atlantis
Let them chant this, in the city of atlantis
Let them chant this, in the city of atlantis
Let them chant this, in the city of atlantis

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.
