Soul Collector [Intro] (Low guitar... distant fiddle... heartbeat kick drum) She smiled first... I should've walked away. Instead... I took one more step. [Verse 1] She stood where the fire kissed midnight, Eyes like whiskey set aflame. Never raised a blade against me, Never even spoke my name. Every mile I swore I'd leave her, Every sunrise proved me wrong. She never wrapped me up in chains... She simply let me come. [Pre-Chorus] Every warning... Every prayer... Faded like smoke into the wind. I knew the price... Before I walked in. [Chorus] She's a Soul Collector... She don't steal... She don't chase... She waits where broken dreamers Meet a beautiful face. One smile... One touch... One promise in the dark. You hand her everything... Before she takes your heart. She's a Soul Collector... And I went willingly. [Verse 2] Kings have fallen at her footsteps. Outlaws traded crowns for dust. Saints forgot the words they preached, Trading heaven just for lust. She don't wear a queen's cold armor. She don't hide behind a throne. She simply smiles... And somehow... You're never walking home. [Pre-Chorus] Every heartbeat... Pulled me closer. Every lie... Sounded true. I blamed the devil... Till I realized... The devil... Looked like you. [Chorus] She's a Soul Collector... She don't steal... She don't chase... She waits where broken dreamers Meet a beautiful face. One smile... One touch... One whisper in the dark. You hand her everything... Before she owns your heart. She's a Soul Collector... And I'd do it all again. [Bridge] (Drop to acoustic, then build) Some call her evil. Some call her sin. Some swear she wears The fires of hell beneath her skin. I call her freedom... Wrapped in beautiful lies. Because no one follows... Without opening their own eyes. [Final Chorus] (Full band, gang harmonies) She's a Soul Collector... Every road leads back again. Heroes... Outlaws... Saints... And broken men. One smile... That's all it takes. No chains. No curses. No fate. You surrender everything... Long before it's too late. She's a Soul Collector... She smiled first... And I gave her my soul.
