Lachesis Lyrics

We're sundered
Our cards were dealt and what did you receive
In my rest
In all my coming nights I will dream for you to see
And my words
Will be spilled upon the ground and sorrow must be freed
Morning
At long last sleeping no colours to wake me

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.

Lachesis was one of the Three Moirai (Fates) in Greek mythology. Her sisters were Clotho and Atropos & they were all daughters of Zeus and Themis. The name Lachesis derives from the verb meaning "to obtain by fate, lot, or divine will". In reference to the song, I think this applies to the destiny that one awaits who temps fate & realizes it's too late, they have gone too far (*the cards were dealt).
