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.

The lyrics in English:

[Intro]

Through the gates of night, there is wisdom waiting

Through the gates of night, there is wisdom waiting to be found

[Verse 1]

That first place of night

Was an island in the colour of stars

Spring

Green grew and the flowers blossomed

[Refrain]

A lost time, far in the distance

A lost time, far in the distance

[Verse 2]

Summer

The sun and the sand

Autumn

The shape of yellow leaves falling

[Refrain]

A lost time, far in the distance

A lost time, far in the distance

[Verse 3]

Winter

The sky sang snow

Written into the night

A world of stars

[Interlude]

[Refrain]

A lost time, far in the distance

A lost time, far in the distance

[Verse 4]

Now, is the season of water

The island, the cities, the darkness

Through time this became our world

But our quest is not yet over

[Verse 5]

Now, is the season of the moon

Soft breezes whispering

Night and day

But our quest is not yet over

Translation

Through The Gates Of Night, There Is Wisdom Waiting To Be Found

That First Place Of Night Was An Island In The Colour Of Stars. Spring. Green Grew And The Flowers Blossomed

A Lost Time, Far In The Distance

Summer. The Sun And The Sand. Autumn. The Shape Of Yellow Leaves Falling

Winter. The Sky Sang Snow. Written Into The Night. A World Of Stars

Now, Is The Season Of Water. The Island, The Cities, The Darkness. Through Time This Became Our World. But Our Quest Is Not Yet Over

Now, Is The Season Of The Moon. Soft Breezes Whispering. Night And Day. But Our Quest Is Not Yet Over
