For each ecstatic instant Lyrics

For each ecstatic instant
We must an anguish pay
In keen and quivering ratio
To the Ecstasy

For each beloved hour
Sharp pittances of years
Bitter contested farthings
And coffers heaped with tears

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 [?]
