The Dark Lyrics

we turn up our receivers
and we point them to the sky
and then we wonder,
is the emptiness alive?
I can feel it coming in like
fire in the belly,
like a prayer in the blood
working in you, the machinery of love
I can feel it coming in from
infinite ways, infinite directions
infinite ways, infinite directions
the dark
endless dark
and the whirling stars
where is love
but the human heart?
we turn up our receivers
and we listen to the mind
deep in our bones there is
a factory of light
I can feel it coming in like
fire in the belly,
like a thunder in the skull
O relentless, the machinery of love
I can feel it coming in from
infinite ways, infinite directions
infinite ways, infinite directions
the dark
endless dark
and the whirling stars
where is love
but the human heart?
if there is something more
and I matter to it
with my love let my heart
build a ladder to it

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.
