Slave Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It eats your soul
Like tears, you fall, my slave
You steal, you heed the call, my slave
The keys, the keys are gold, my slave
You keep me beating on

It eats your soul
Like tears, you fall, my slave
You steal, you heed the call, my slave

[Chorus]
You keep me, keep me your slave
You keep me, keep me your slave


[Verse 2]
On my own, you keep me, keep me
On the throne, heads down, all obey
On my own, you keep me, keep me
On the throne, heads down, all obey

[Chorus]
Keep me, keep me your slave
You keep me, keep me your slave


[Outro]
Can I feed on your love?
Can I feed on your love?
Can I feed on your love?
(The keys are gold, my slave)
Can I feed on your love?
(You keep me beating on)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
