[Intro] (Dirty guitar riff, bass growling underneath) Yeah… Yeah… ⸻ [Verse 1] Spent too many years in the rearview mirror Talking to ghosts that don’t answer back Carried every mistake like a suitcase full of bricks Dragging chains down a one-way track Everybody’s got an opinion Everybody’s got a name to throw But they weren’t there in the darkness When I had nowhere left to go ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You wanna know what I gave? You wanna know what it cost? ⸻ [Chorus] Blood and soul! I gave my heart, my blood and my soul To every dream I couldn’t hold To every road that left me cold Blood and soul! Now all that’s left is who I am Standing in the wreckage still Trying to understand Blood and soul! ⸻ [Verse 2] I broke my back chasing horizons Believing there was something more Another town, another answer Waiting behind another door But the world don’t hand out mercy And love don’t always stay Sometimes all you’ve got is yourself At the end of the day ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And I’m done begging For what was never mine ⸻ [Chorus] Blood and soul! I gave my heart, my blood and my soul To every dream I couldn’t hold To every road that left me cold Blood and soul! Now all that’s left is who I am Standing in the wreckage still Trying to understand Blood and soul! ⸻ [Bridge] (Band drops to bass and drums) No saints No saviors No one coming down the line No miracles waiting No hand reaching out this time Just me Just this Just the scars beneath my skin And if I gotta start again Then let it begin ⸻ [Breakdown] (Heavy drums, shouted vocals) I bled for it! I broke for it! I carried it alone! I gave my heart! My blood! My soul! ⸻ [Final Chorus] Blood and soul! I gave my heart, my blood and my soul And somehow I’m still standing here When I thought I’d lost control Blood and soul! You can take the years I’ve known You can take the pain I’ve carried But you’ll never take my soul Blood and soul! Blood and soul! Blood and soul! ⸻ [Outro] (Feedback, crashing cymbals, riff repeating) You can take the years… You can take the pain… But you’ll never take… My soul… (guitar feedback fades)
