Evening Prayer Lyrics

(spoken)
the wages of sin
hold my heart hostage
my mouth is still cruel
my skin is in bondage
my body is scared
from lyrics I've carved
bruises I've healed
lips that I've starved
wounds I've replaced
with love and with hate
the truth set me free
but my faith was raped
I've broken my silence
lied to myself
spoken in violence
been someone else
screamed at my demons
prayed to my god
begged for forgiveness
my hands are still hot

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.

I absolutely adore this. I love hearing it at the end of the album. Cant even really put into words what it means to me
