An Unkind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We see the vipers of distance
Crawl into our lives everyday
Breeding our Edens of hatred
Pathetically stupid and unkind

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We couldn't look the saints in the eyes
We couldn't look the saints in the eyes

[Chorus]
On the storm
It's time to go
On the storm
It's time to go

[Verse 2]
Marching in lines of contradiction
Forgetting the history we make
Loving our hangmen as the penultimate joke

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We lack the Moses
To look the saints in the eyes

[Chorus]
On the storm
It's time to go
On the storm
It's time to go
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
On the storm
It's time to go
On the storm
It's time to go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
