Lyrics
BLACKSOUL
V 1
Been searchin along time
Been on this road for a while
Nobody will take me back
Everyday I walk a thousand miles
V 2
Some call me the blackbird
Or the 13th one
I provoke the Zephers and
I blacken the sun
chorus
I am the blacksoul
I bring only harm
I am the darkone baby and
I do nothing but harm
V 3
When I thirst your wells run dry
When I am lonely I take another child
When I am bored your mountains quake
Your waves up as your earth quakes
Chorus
I am the blacksoul
I bring only harm
I am the fallen angel and
I do nothing but harm
Bridge
I thought about begging for forgiveness
I contemplated looking for redemption
But my blacksoul is a deep dark whole
Full of destruction
Capo 7
Verse Am Em
Chorus & Bridge F G Am
