John The Conqueror
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Devil′s saying: John, if you want your life
Plow, reap and sow this in one day
She whispered: Don't you listen, baby, ′cause
He'll take your life anyway
John was a prince in worker's chain
But that mean Devil never take his crown
Shifted to the shape of a midnight stallion
Left his spirit in root in the ground
Summoning the power of John the Conqueror
Running wild with the Devil′s daughter
I got your root but your soul′s in Africa
Heart-lifter
Shape-shifter
Oh, be your name in the air I breathe
Live in my veins, so dark and red
Know whenever I'm in need
Feel your spirit around my neck
Summoning the power of John the Conqueror
Running wild with the Devil′s daughter
I got your root but your soul's in Africa
Heart-lifter
Shape-shifter
(I′m summoning)
(I'm summoning you)
(I′m summoning)
(I'm summoning you)
(I'm summoning)
(I′m summoning you)
Oh, summoning the power of John the Conqueror
Running wild with the Devil′s daughter
I got your root, but your soul's in Africa
You shape-shifter
(I′m summoning)
(I'm summoning you)
(I′m summoning)
(I'm summoning you)
(I′m summoning)
(I'm summoning you)
Summoning the power of John the Conqueror
Running wild with the Devil's daughter
I got your root but your soul′s in Africa
You heart-lifter
Shape-shifter
