Öxnadalur Lyrics

Take me over your palace walls
My magic word
Drifts high as my chest
My heartbeat melts a line
Of helpless steps
Deep
Winters where the clocks crept
Undersea
And left forgiveness spinning
From a golden reel
Across the field
I drop my shield
And run the last mile home
(I belong with you there
I belong
Ashes in the air)
But always the departures
Plunging elevators with
My new lives inside
All those unkind good-byes
Star of love
Let your snow-streaked hair down
For me again
You are my return through the storm
My tightrope to the light
Above the door
Free
Here i'm in a city
Under siege
And there a lamb she's gathered
In her golden fleece
You rescued me
You rescued me
But what do i do now
What new day
Promises getting closer
All of those days are over
Just come and climb with me
In the sun

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.
