Hatework Lyrics

Hatework......
Bringer of doom
Hatework......

What I have in store
What has the devil got to do with it
I'm brewing my toil
So the brimstone comes this way

Nightwork......
My life's work
Nightwork......world in flames

This calls for fire
This is a call for ruin
We will be departed
Leave the rot so lonely

Hatework......
Bringer of doom
Hatework......and the turmoil comes......

Hatework......
My work
Hatework......and the earth's left burning

I call death...death is answering me
And a world betrayed is black forever......

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.

Crazy good song. The bells are so doomish. Although the lyrics border on self parody, they seem to be about how they want to destroy the world and its inhabitants.

This certainly looks like a song describing the end of the world but the remainder is open to interpretation. I dare say it may actually be describing God ending the world in a violent manner instead of Satan: "What does the devil have to do with it?" Also, it describes "a world betrayed." So it may be stating that people trusted God to do good works and protect humankind from Satan. Instead, to humanity's horror, their trust is "betrayed" and it is actually a wrathful and angry God that sends the fires of doom upon the earth instead of the devil. That's my take on it at any rate.
