The War Years Lyrics

So sudden worlds collide
Left the scent of the sweetness behind us
A vision burned into my mind

The streets they appeared so alive then
Feels like we might suffocate
Under the dirt and the hatred
Can we push it all away?
Or will we remain chained to

The war years
The war years
The war years
The war years

A falcon is circling the sky
Awaking in view of the mountain
The mountain between you and I
Surrounded by rivers of poison
Everything is everywhere
Under the darkness and thunder
Can we push it all away?
Will we be able to escape

The war years
The war years
The war years
The war years
The war years
The war years
The war years
The war years
The war years
The war years
The war years
The war years

The mountain between you and I
The mountain between you and I
This mountain between you and I
The mountain between you and I

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.
