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.
Basically, the entire Master of Puppets album is about the things that control humanity, such as anger (Battery), addiction (Master of Puppets), religion (Leper Messiah), etc. This was named Orion because in mythology, Orion became a puppet of the gods after he chose to follow Artemis. Apollo was jealous of Artemis' new follower, and eventually, Artemis ended up killing Orion because of Apollo's trickery. Thus, Orion never had control of his destiny, and his fate was entirely in the hands of the gods. Because the album is about those things which control humanity, Orion was a perfectly appropriate title for this instrumental. Perhaps the explanation of the spaced out nature of one of the parts played a factor as well. But that's my take on it.
this song is awesome. I love it. It shows a shitload of emotion, and even without James's lyrics this is a real historic metallica song. If anybody disagrees with me, they are not a real metallica fan.
this song, and "ONE" are a couple of songs that I wish they would have made last alot longer with just the guitars, You know like "free bird" by Lynrd Skynrd where they just seem to go on play'in for an hour.
The bass guitar is fucking awesome all through this song, and also with the solo toward the end. Cliff is the God of 4 strings no matter what other fuckers say...
King Nothing: Dream Theater is a progressive metal band. They aren't a Metallica cover band, but Metallica is one of there influences. I believe they played this in Barcelona at one show. It was the second set and all the lights went black. Then, a Master Of Puppets banner came down, the Battery intro started and they came out wearing Metallica T-Shirts. They played the whole album of Master Of Puppets. It's available on many P2P programs. It is quite a good cover.
this song is like a war in the beginning is like the rush you get be for you go to war then the battle starts with a bang then you realize that your killing off others with familys that will never see them or you the killer of there family you, then you start to think what m I doing how can i stop this there must be a beter way but is there?
My fav. instrumental by the "Tallcia Boys. I love that middle part that soudns spacey and shit. This is a great song to listen to if you're pissed off, cuz it's so relaxing to just sit back and close your eyes and let the music take you. RnngBld is right, Cliff is a 4-string God Who Was Among Men.

Here's my take.

This certainly is an awesome song.

Studio editing probably, but that same fade in effect can be acheived using a volume pedal and slowy turning it up [have somone off stage do that!]
