The Death of the King Lyrics

Oh my God, you are a dangerous lover!
Oh my God, you are a dangerous lover!
Yeah my man, you better run for cover!
Oh my God, you are a dangerous lover!
Oh you were wrong, the king fell from his tower!
Oh you were wrong, the king fell from his tower!
Yeah my man, you better run for cover!
Oh you were wrong, the king fell from his tower!
Bang on the drum
Is it loud enough to shake you?
Friend you've been wanred
You've been told from behind the door
Scream
Scream it loud
Sing it out
Make your lover proud!
Scream
Scream it loud

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.
