BAM BAM BAM 03:34
I had this call deep inside me the need to rest and to save me fuck off assholes and your complaints fuck off pussies I’m not staying Waves of the past crush in my head foam of untold is bleeding on my chest fuck off the rules and tight limits fuck off the reign and politics No need to run, just wipe away split Mercury, Sulfur, and Salt to stay, Fuck our chains and tight shackles I catch my breath and ride away bam bam bam bam bam bam BAM BAM BAM the beat of the world BAM BAM BAM the rhythm in your chest BAM BAM BAM Raise your hands and waddle BAM BAM BAM everyone stands up BAM BAM the beat of the world BAM BAM the rhythm in your chest BAM BAM Raise your hands and waddle BAM BAM BAM everyone stands up and fly My life is mine, night and day not dedicated to your shit, your way Fuck off homework and overtime Your shitty salary won't buy my life You wanted to keep me close, To see me suffocate and fade away. I was no longer thinking of myself. fuck off with your world of possession bam bam bam bam bam bam BAM BAM BAM the beat of the world BAM BAM BAM the rhythm in your chest BAM BAM BAM Raise your hands and waddle BAM BAM BAM everyone stands up BAM BAM the beat of the world BAM BAM the rhythm in your chest BAM BAM Raise your hands and waddle BAM BAM BAM everyone stands up and fly the words, that I have said so much I hear them a lot, but I hear them too much ticking, like the hours of time, that I cannot touch to feed a sentimental conversation with glutch BAM BAM BAM the beat of the world BAM BAM BAM the rhythm in your chest BAM BAM BAM Raise your hands and waddle BAM BAM BAM everyone stands up BAM BAM the beat of the world BAM BAM the rhythm in your chest BAM BAM Raise your hands and waddle BAM BAM BAM everyone stands up and fly

Wake up, on a summer sight On a Saturday night, you walked on my heart. Wake up, the signs are there, I laid you down in my lair. One thing that I did not know, Written on my soul, that is your redhead howl Two things that I love to do Is playing cards and… fucking you I shall maybe not give it all Nor close my eyes while I fall I had to make a choice between me or you, you & me I had to wipe my mirrors of red lipsticks fat kisses You surprised me, catching me up in the middle of the race what I thought unbreakable, has exploded in my face Look at me and tell me what you see, did you feel the lust, will you find the key? I told you ‘bout casa, wherever it will be, this is you and me. Rhum, pirates, and the ocean, the “change your life” trip is on. ‘cause if you have to taste something that will be my lips; And nothing else I shall maybe not give it all Nor close my eyes while I fall I had to make a choice between me or you, you & me I had to wipe my mirrors of red lipsticks fat kisses You surprised me, catching me up in the middle of the race what I thought unbreakable, has exploded in my face Wake up, on a summer sight On a Saturday night, you walked on my heart. Wake up, the signs are there, I laid you down in my lair. At the end of the day, we dropped our bags in front of the sea, getting lazy Together forever, wet and hard get in with ease. I had to make a choice between me or you, you & me I had to wipe my mirrors of red lipsticks fat kisses You surprised me, catching me up in the middle of the race what I thought unbreakable, has exploded in my face

Some say I am the devil, that I’ve ruined their world. Walking on a dark road surrounded by filthy birds I know now (that) The truth is, I saw them, discreetly at the crossroads. Behind the mirror, they just saw their own sins You speak to me of Judgment And claim your revenge, Did you ever look deep in your soul before to blame Some say I am a bright God, draped in a veil of light. That I’m a source of life shining like gold I know now The truth is, I saw them, discreetly at the crossroads. Behind the mirror, they just saw their radiant soul You speak to me of Judgment And claim your revenge, Did you ever look deep in your soul before to blame I say I'm just a man, torn between good and evil. I like to think of myself as a fair man The truth is, I met myself Finally at the crossroads. A hermit in the quest of his shining lantern You speak to me of Judgment And claim your revenge, Did you ever look deep in your soul before to blame You speak to me of Judgment And claim your revenge, Did you ever look deep in your soul before to blame.

Bleed 03:32
Once again my heart is bleeding while the sun is just rising Once again my soul is feeding while the clear river is flowing Even if my soul is smiling My heart is still crying and screaming Even if my pain is running… away The dark sky showed me its grace On the playground, I have played my last ace I looked at the clouds and beyond to space while drops are running down my face Even if my soul is smiling My heart is still crying and screaming Even if my pain is running and fading, … Fading away Ginger sweetie, fresh and pretty, Take my breath away and turn the red into grey Ginger sweetie, we’ll face it easy, let's save our place to fire our romance. I have always hoped that this choice, will stay away from me forever. But now is the time to listen to this voice, and pull down the lever. Even if my soul is smiling My heart is still crying and screaming Even if my pain is running and fading, … Fading away Ginger sweetie, fresh and pretty, Take my breath away and turn the red into grey Ginger sweetie, we’ll face it easy, let's save our place to fire our romance.

Water Dance 03:54
At this moment when the sky is redding, hot as my mind when the sun goes down, I was walking on my own My footsteps on the sand, erased by the sea I live this moment as alone as I was meant to be The hot wind kisses my face I’m listening carefully to the deep space The night takes a deep breath and takes my dark thoughts away while the waves of the sea softly touch my knees my mind is getting lighter, I’ve dropped my last fear the warm breath of the night brings with it a mystic song The hot wind kisses my face I’m listening carefully to the deep space when a sound breaks the silence I’m attracted, no more patience At the bend in the road, I come across an odd party, with strange creatures and water fairies. Where (the) natural and supernatural dance together, like a wave of vibrant life, I’m getting higher In the morning I wake up, lying on the sand smiling and breathing the music from last night still resonates in my mind. My soul becomes more precise as if awakened to the light who am I? what will be my following night and my further life? At the bend in the road, I come across an odd party, with strange creatures and water fairies. Where (the) natural and supernatural dance together, like a wave of vibrant life, I’m getting higher

The Door 03:28
We didn't have to knock on this door to push it wide open. In a deep breath, just here, on my floor, I found a bright island. The vibration of the past, savored in the present. Like a sorcerer's spell in a blast, powerful and ardent. Beyond the mirror, the voice of the soul is heard. Within the light, the most reckless form, the third. This door that I hesitate to close, This sweet door, so far, so close. This litany still played in my ears. again and again the same old fears. don't you deny the call of our souls? A jigsaw you have to solve. I asked for a test, and I got your call, and then my answer evolves: you abandon my sublime to live on your domain, I have decided to climb, to the peak of my mountain. Beyond the mirror, the voice of the soul is heard. Within the light, the most reckless form, the third. This door that I hesitate to close, This sweet door, so far, so close. This litany still played in my ears. again and again the same old fears. Beyond the mirror, the voice of the soul is heard. Within the light, the most reckless form, the third. This door that I hesitate to close, This sweet door, so far, so close. This litany still plays in my ears. again and again the same old fears.

Scars 02:55
Even if the darkness creeps, no more words fall from your lips stand up and keep the flame hold on and play the game Whatever the fight you will face claiming for the realm or the disgrace You will be the one, the chosen one to fight and get the shit done. Every fail, every scar will be one of your decorations Raise your fist, stand up and walk for your own creation Even though the sun goes down no more rays until the dawn, Willing to go far to conquer and to run so, as not to die No matter the beatings and injuries, Whatever the wounds and the blood It is together that we’ll rise again, it is united that we’ll win again Every fail, every scar will be one of your decorations Raise your fist, stand up and walk for your own creation Every fail, every scar will be one of your decorations Raise your fist, stand up and walk for your own creation.

Hallelujah 03:36
At least once a day, we are looking back and one will say that everything is black At least once a day you lie on the ground and one will pray but I will hear the sound ‘cause every time at every sign I’ll face my pain ‘cause every time at every sign my light will rise again ‘Cause it sounds like a Hallelujah like a song, or an ode to my brother ‘cause it sounds like a Hallelujah but you are still fading away, are ya? Around the street I met a preacher and he will beat on the heart of the prayer Around the yard, ask a fortune teller. to draw a card to sell an answer ‘cause every time at every sign I’ll face my pain ‘cause every time at every sign my light will rise again ‘Cause it sounds like a Hallelujah like a song, an ode to my sister ‘cause it sounds like a Hallelujah but you are still fading away, are ya? Hear the message from your soul to crack the shell of your ghost Trust yourself to reach it all to not just be an empty host Now, get back on your road, listen to your inner voice; The message has been told now make your choice ‘Cause it sounds like a Hallelujah like a song, or an ode to my brother ‘cause it sounds like a Hallelujah but you are still fading away ‘Cause it sounds like a Hallelujah like a song, or an ode to my sister ‘cause it sounds like a Hallelujah but you are still fading away but you are still fading away but you are still fading away, are ya?

Cry 03:06
Didn't know that time, time had come look out of the window, the light has gone the light has gone away, disappeared like smoke I prayed night and day, but you couldn’t stay desperation in my eyes, it was all a lie I was living in a dream and I couldn't see And I cry I cry I cry, every single day In the middle of the night, ‘cause your light fades away One day more, I walk through the door the streets were crowded with people and I could not ignore that life can be so tough, even if I know we only have one life, and I use it to cry desperation in my eyes, it was all a lie I was living in a dream and I couldn't see And I cry I cry I cry, every single day In the middle of the night, ‘cause your light fades away Life is beautiful they said, but the light has fled The wind blows your hair, and the best is still ahead And I cry I cry I cry, every single day In the middle of the night, ‘cause your light fades away And I cry I cry I cry, every single day In the middle of the night, ‘cause your light fades away

Punch me 03:34
Alors que le soleil froid sanglant darde sur moi ses rayons d’argent/rasants, un cri s’empare de moi explose en mon être et cela va de soi Questo grido che esplode dentro me È una difesa contro il male Il male l'ho visto ed è dentro di te Ti prego spostati e fammi passare! I don’t wanna smile I just want to drink all night long … and not to think that I want to; I want to, I want to I want to punch your face But we are not in a video game… I’d like to, but life is not the same je t’ai vu, toi l’incivile je t’ai vu, toi le voleur je te hais toi l’imbécile et toi plus encore, l’inéfable branleur Que tu sois propre ou malandrin que tu recherches la vérité ou le gain j’excecre cette facette de toi qui se dresse face à moi La musica sarà L'unica mia vera arma Non posso toccarti, devo essere gentile Ma corri ai ripari, torna nel tuo ovile! I don’t wanna smile I just want to drink all night long … and not to think that I want to; I want to, I want to I want to punch your face But we are not in a video game… I’d like to, but life is not the same I don’t wanna smile I just want to drink all night long … and not to think that I want to; I want to, I want to I want to punch your face But we are not in a video game… I’d like to, but life is not the same

Once again, I have packed my bag; I slammed the door and turned on my heels without any remorse. Once again, my sky is changing; I will ride my motorbike until the end of this damn day. And every time it is the same every time, its share of beliefs I live my life, no blame but my road goes on to my relief. Stone after stone I’ve built my life V some are black and some are white Once I will die, Take all those rocks V and roll them onto my grave. You can detail me from head to toe; You can judge me or even exclude me from your high standards. There is no rule that I follow; There is no reign that I respect until I am its fucking king. And every time it is the same every time, its share of beliefs I live my life, no blame but my road goes on to my relief. Stone after stone I’ve built my life V some are black and some are white Once I will die, Take all those rocks V and roll them onto my grave. Always the same old song, our soul outa there and those lonely cries, alone in the night Like dust in the wind, I fly Like a single drop in the sea, I dive, And the desert is still burning my soul every time I feel alone. And then we pushed the same door, Sitting around the same table, two strangers face to face Being outlaws to be ourselves, we have to drive all the way west, into the sunset. Stone after stone I’ve built my life V some are black and some are white Once I will die, Take all those rocks V and roll them onto my grave. Stone after stone I’ve built my life V some are black and some are white Once I will die, Take all those rocks V and roll them onto my grave.

SOUL CLAIM 03:22
Just you, say my name, no time to listen back and say it loud again to get off the track No heroes, no sorrows feel the ride and leave the strife Soul Claim fills the hollows and sings an ode to life Hands up and sing with me: Hey Ho Say my name Raise your glass and cheer with me: live to hear your soul claim once you’ll be on your deathbed Tell me, what will you regret? your phone, your car, your mistress you know the one in red Living the moment is peeling our ego by sweeping the fear away and just let it go Hands up and sing with me: Hey Ho Say my name Raise your glass and cheer with me: live to hear your soul claim the only secret society you have to be accepted in is humankind because too few are deserving. We no longer have the luxury of being able to choose. If we do not change NOW we are DEAD, did you get that? Fucking DEAD !!! Hands up and sing with me: Hey Ho Say my name Raise your glass and cheer with me: live to hear your soul claim Just you, say my name, no time to listen back to fight those voices, this pain that I cannot quiet myself Let’s say, forget our worries and enjoy the moment no other day, but this one And sing an ode to life And sing an ode to life Hands up and sing with me: Hey Ho Say my name Raise your glass and cheer with me: live to hear your soul claim Hands up and sing with me: Hey Ho Say my name Raise your glass and cheer with me: live to hear your soul claim

I walk beside the sun in a glorious light without any burn no blister on my might ... Burying my fears and sights Straight, As I walk ahead I feel this joy Some days are dark and some are bright ... every single night I drop my coat and whistle this song to lead me into the dark and to bring back the light Bite the beat and beat the beast everything under the sun will dance with me Bite the beat and beat the beast Take a bite, this is really what you need If sadness is a snake I want to ban it from my Eden just for me to shake the Hell and its maidens Now that the day came over overwhelmed by the wave of wonder I drop my coat and whistle this song to lead me into the dark and to bring back the light I drop my coat and whistle this song to lead me into the dark and to bring back the light Bite the beat and beat the beast everything under the sun will dance with me Bite the beat and beat the beast Take a bite, this is really what you need Bite the beat and beat the beast everything under the sun will dance with me Bite the beat and beat the beast Take a bite, this is really what you need

about

Soul Claim's music is rooted in powerful, rhythmic rock, from which one can hear blues, 70' Rock, and metal origins. For Soul Claim, music is a cry from the soul, and the two powerful voices of the band become the banner holder of this cry, of this restless claim.

The first album, "Some Say I am the Devil", is about the devil and the different ways he can hide in everyday life. This album is about all aspects of human life with a respectful conscience for Mother Nature.
