City of the Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm scared of what's inside my head
What's inside my soul
I feel like I'm running
But getting nowhere
Fear is suffocating me
I can't breathe
I feel like I'm drowning
I'm sinking deeper

[Pre-Chorus]
White light fades to red
As I enter the city of the dead

[Chorus]
Rex treméndæ maiestátis
Qui salvándos salvas gratis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Rex treméndæ maiestátis
Qui salvándos salvas gratis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Salva me, fons pietátis

[Verse 2]
I feel it burning through my veins
It's driving me insane
The fever is rising
I'm going under
Memories flash before my eyes
I'm losing time
The poison is killing me, taking over

[Pre-Chorus]
White light fades to red
As I enter the city of the dead

[Chorus]
Rex treméndæ maiestátis
Qui salvándos salvas gratis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Rex treméndæ maiestátis
Qui salvándos salvas gratis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Salva me, fons pietátis

[Bridge]
Quantus tremor est futúrus
Quando Iudex est ventúrus
Quantus tremor est futúrus
Quando Iudex est ventúrus
Damnata, invisus, ubique
Ab omnibus, ad infinitum

[Chorus]
Rex treméndæ maiestátis
Qui salvándos salvas gratis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Rex treméndæ maiestátis
Qui salvándos salvas gratis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Rex treméndæ maiestátis
Qui salvándos salvas gratis
Salva me, fons pietátis
Salva me, fons pietátis

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.
