Victims of the Riddle Lyrics

Take a tine of unwanted embryos
Paint a bird then let it go
Give me a foetus you want to destroy
I'll create neither a girl
I'll create neither a boy
I'm a monster in the eyes of Troy
I'm a monster in the eyes of the boys
Give it life, drown it in love
Watch it writhe, trying to escape
At the point before death
Oh tell it my love was fake?
See my only life form is rolling down the floor!
Who is it? Where is it? Why?
See my only life form a-rolling on the floor!
Who is it? Why? Where is it? Why?
What is your crime, what have you done?
You're a victim

Is there a heaven? Is there a hell?
Do both exist? Who can tell?
Only the victims...
Your life is a riddle

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.
