The Vengeance Lyrics

All hail the dark phoenix
Blood and feathers from the broken pieces
You don’t know me and it’s not your time
Turn around and get in line
So let the hate rain down
Born to be the one
We’re gonna take the crown
Sing for the vengeance
Whoa, whoa
Sing for the vengeance
Whoa, whoa
We are the vengeance

What’s freedom when you’re beaten?
Nothing's ever better for you heathens
You don’t own me and this scar is mine
Drinking down your f*cking lies

So let the hate rain down
Born to be the one
We’re gonna take the crown
Sing for the vengeance
Whoa, whoa
Sing for the vengeance
Whoa, whoa
We are the vengeance

Pray to god you’re alive
Just so dead inside
And all the sinners love the skills you have to hide

So let the hate rain down
So let the hate rain down
Born to be the one
We’re gonna take the crown
Sing for the vengeance
Whoa, whoa
Sing for the vengeance
Whoa, whoa
We are the vengeance

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.

I think this is about remaining who you are as a band and not allowing others to try & change you or take your crown. You've earned your success your way & will continue to sing in retribution - in the face of your haters and with pride and passion.
