The Legacy Lyrics

A legacy that rots with time, cold before it hits the ground. I've been where those fears lie. I've heard the screams from the inside. I know never look back. When memories fade to flashes, that trust was just a trap. look for my picture in the ashes. Deceit riding under a white flags. A casualty of sincerity. Dust on the gallows, and not a tear in sight, just like the old days. Perfection rotting from the inside out. A pale face that cracks with age. A blank stare screaming with rage. Sunken cheeks, a lonely heart. Sadistic, seduction, you know the part.

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.
