Fires of War Lyrics

Stone by stone
Cracked, crushed, fallen
Beauty burned, erased
But not forgotten

I'll take your melodies
May your last breath
Fill the air with embers
I inhale

In their blood I will stand
To let the waning light of man
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
‘Till our time burns away
Until our embers fade to grey
Cast my shadow on the fires of war

My grief is swollen
In rusty chains
Tethered to the killing wheel
Sun up, sun down
Sun up, sun down again

One burning candle
One wind whipped flames
They carry in my teeth like an animal
Vengeance my strength

In their blood I will stand
To let the waning light of man
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
‘Till our time burns away
Until our embers fade to grey
Cast my shadow on the fires of war

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.
