Sold My Soul
Zakk Wylde · Book of Shadows [1996]
I'm contemplating suicide torn from all my pride
A man tells me, son that ain't the way
Gonna make a deal with you child
Gonna live another day
Just sign right here son
Everything will be alright
CHORUS:
*Oooo-oh
Ain't nothing I wouldn't do
*Oooo-oh
All & everything for you
*Oooo-oh
Your love is all I know and ever knew
*Oooo
Therefore I have sold my soul for you
*Oooo-oh
*Oooo-oh
I was told by this man it would be worth my while
He'd return me to my woman
Return me to my smile ----
It's all I ask for in this life
Whatever's wrong son he told me he'd make right
Just sign right here child
Everything going to be alright
CHORUS
All for you
SOLO
Just sign right here son
Everything going to be alright
CHORUS
OUT SOLO
Sold My Soul
Sold My Soul stands as a defining track from Zakk Wylde's 1996 debut solo album, Book of Shadows. Emerging from his tenure as a guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, Wylde crafted a sound that blends heavy metal aggression with bluesy soulfulness. This recording captures his signature thick guitar tone and emotive vocal delivery, establishing the dark, gothic atmosphere that characterizes his early solo work. The song reflects the personal struggles and artistic identity Wylde was forging during this pivotal era of his career. As part of a discography that would later include collaborations with Black Label Society, this track remains a testament to his ability to merge technical proficiency with raw emotional weight in the hard rock genre.
