lyrics
Dark music sounds right.
Black clothes and silver moonlight.
Long hair and other worlds.
Fishnet ladies, the best of girls.
(Pre chorus)
I sold my soul, I sold my soul, I sold my soul to rock'n'roll. (x 2)
(Scarlet's chorus)
Don't you ever worry, my soul is in my care, this is what I was born for.
(Final chorus)
I sold my soul to rock'n'roll (x 4)
Black Sabbath made my life.
Hawkwind took me on a space flight.
Killing Joke gave me power.
Play Dead the first flower.
(Pre chorus)
I sold my soul, I sold my soul, I sold my soul to rock'n'roll. (x 2)
(Scarlet's chorus)
Don't you ever worry, my soul is in my care, this is what I was born for.

I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the darker roots of rock n roll and stay with me for further evil riffs and beats to come forth in the near future.
