Souls [*] Lyrics

Just like an Indian I climb
Offering sacrifice
Up to the temple on the hill
Can human heart suffice?
Can I survive the world alone
Without a well within my home
Without the one idol's love
Shining down upon me?
She eats Souls
She eats Souls
All that I'm offering's the heart
That's all I have to give
With all this heat surrounding me
My deity forgives
And if she needs it every day
I'll climb the steps my savage way
Uttering incantations up up above me
She eats Souls
She eats Souls
Souls
Can I survive the world alone
Without a well within my home
Without the one idol's love
Shining down upon one?
She eats Souls
She eats Souls

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.
