Reserved For Speaker Lyrics

the forgotten
another fifty years to forget
again celebration
the past is justified for our generation
justified segregation from your retired number
my wounds open for your tears
my eyes flood in disgust

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.

No matter how long ago something happened, even if it was before your time, it can still bring tears. Yaphet Kotto is one of the few bands with talent, that still exists.

This is Cape Henry Virginia. In 1607, thirteen years before the Pilgrims, the first English settlers landed here. They came seeking a new world, where religion(???) could reach out from these shores for the glory of Jesus. This cross marks the place where their first official act in America was to kneel and pray. And just twelve miles away, this cross marks the place where 369 years later, CBN is fulfilling their dream(???)
