KT Tunstall - John The Conqueror Lyrics

KT Tunstall Lyrics

"John The Conqueror"

Devil's saying: John, if you want your life
Plow, reap and sow this in one day
She whispered: Don't you listen, baby, 'cause
He'll take your life anyway

John was a prince in worker's chain
But that mean Devil never take his crown
Shifted to the shape of a midnight stallion
Left his spirit in root in the ground

Summoning the power of John the Conqueror
Running wild with the Devil's daughter
I got your root but your soul's in Africa
Heart-lifter
Shape-shifter

Oh, be your name in the air I breathe
Live in my veins, so dark and red
Know whenever I'm in need
Feel your spirit around my neck

Summoning the power of John the Conqueror
Running wild with the Devil's daughter
I got your root but your soul's in Africa
Heart-lifter
Shape-shifter

(I'm summoning)
(I'm summoning you)
(I'm summoning)
(I'm summoning you)
(I'm summoning)
(I'm summoning you)

Oh, summoning the power of John the Conqueror
Running wild with the Devil's daughter
I got your root, but your soul's in Africa
You shape-shifter

(I'm summoning)
(I'm summoning you)
(I'm summoning)
(I'm summoning you)
(I'm summoning)
(I'm summoning you)

Summoning the power of John the Conqueror
Running wild with the Devil's daughter
I got your root but your soul's in Africa
You heart-lifter
Shape-shifter
