Belly Of The Beast Lyrics

Did my time among the creeps
Did my time among the thieves
Did my time among the scores
Did my time among the whores
Did my time among the blessed
Walked among the living dead
Searching up and down this world
Doing things you've never heard

Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my pain

Did my time among the lost
Paying such a heavy cost
Did my time among the cruel
Laying with the broken fools
Did my time among the slaves
Walked around their waiting graves
Did my time among the lies
Watching as they slowly die

Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my pain

Did my time among the strong
Some are here and some are gone
Did my time among the cursed
Praying that my brain would burst
Did my time among the slaves
Walked upon their living graves
Did my time among the lies
Watching as they slowly die

All I save
All I save
All I save
All I save

Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my pain

All I save
All I save
All I save
All I save

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.

This song is incredible! The crunching guitars and Danzig's voice are acocalyptic. You can almost smell the fire and brimstone. This is a perfect song from start to finish.

I love the way this song flows and how it can really bring your emotions to the surface, but I think all the credit I can give it is to the band and not Glenn Danzig. His voice is gritty, out of tune, and nothing at all like the almost dark-angel smoothness of his voice in the previous albums. During this song, I literally keep clearing my throat as if to signal to Glenn he should also clear his. I can't help it. I wonder how a man with such an amazing voice can be happy croaking out the lyrics to what would otherwise have been an epic song.

No lost points on Belly of the Beast though. It's an incredible song, and even the croaking vocals are tolerable because the music is enough to overpower it.
