Jericho Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tread, ancient water salt
Like I
Sink, down like precious stones (Oh)

[Refrain]
Until I wake I, dine on old encounters
Until

[Chorus]
You taste like new flesh
You taste like new flesh
You taste like new flesh
Say my name again

[Verse 2]
Fold, secrets in the sweat
Like I
Swallow, years beneath this bed (Oh)

[Refrain]
Until I wake I, dine on old encounters
Until (Oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
There's something in the way you lay
Enough to make the dead switch graves
You take your leave

[Chorus]
You taste like new flesh
You taste like new flesh
You taste like new flesh
Say my name again
Say my name again

[Bridge]
My hands are not worthy
My hands are not worthy
(Till I wake I, dine on old encounters)
My hands are not worthy
(Till I wake I, dine on old encounters)
My hands are not worthy
(Till I wake I, dine on old encounters)
My hands are not worthy
(Till I wake I, till I wake I)

[Outro]
Till I wake I, dine on old encounters
Till I wake I, dine on old encounters
Till I wake I, dine on old encounters
Till I wake I, till I wake I

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.
