The Few Upright Lyrics

To see the world with sober eyes, if everybodies mind is paralyzed by thumping lies. Looking in the face of their fake savior, this assassin of humanity, without respect, without fear. Wee see the awful thoughts behind his golden words, we hear the coming doom, there will be no paradise you'll never rule the few upright, the few, who think and act. It's far beneath this nation's dignity who walk the tyrant's way. Refuse to close our eyes, refuse to follow them, never sacrifice our animus. We are no army they could fight against; we are the poisoned youth, that still remembers liberty, that still his thinking free. You didn't trample all the flowers before they spread their seeds.

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.

Hell yeah, great song! This song deals with "Die Weisse Rose" / "The White Rose" - a World War II non-violent resistance group in Germany famous for a leaflet campaign in which they called for active opposition to the Nazi regime (taken from Wiki)
