Shallow Then Halo Lyrics

Winged water
Feathered river
Dirty rich soil
Strong and fertile
The then shallow she
Earth as we know it
The then hallow she
A sky for the sacred
Stars in my eyes
Stars in my face
Womb in the belly
Capitol place
(x2)
The then shallow she
Earth as we know it
The then hallow she
A sky for the sacred

In my(x6)

Winged water
Feathered river
Dirty rich soil
Strong and fertile
(x2)

Stars in my eyes
Stars in my face
Womb in the belly
Capitol place
(x2)

In my eyes
At my
Stars in my eyes
In my eyes
At my feet
At my
In my eyes
At my feet
I have stars in my eyes
Stars in my eyes
I have stars in my face
Stars in my face
Stars in my eyes
I have stars in my face
Stars in my face
Stars in my eyes
Stars at my feet
Stars at my arms, Stars at my feet, (x3)

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.
