The song Save Her Soul is a true story and celebrates a community of neighbours alerting the Police to intervene before another woman was added to the death count statistics. Haunting and musically immersive.
lyrics
Make up to cover
the bruises inside,
long sleeved pajamas
when she has to hide
The kicks and the screams
and the fights for control
They’re eating away at her soul
At Her Soul, At her Soul, At Her Soul
She wished many times that somebody had said
Something to snap her awake
She got shocked into silence
from all of the violence
Just eating away at her soul
At her Soul, At her Soul, At Her Soul
She had no-one to turn to
So hidden it was
Five Neighbours became champions
When they called
for the cops to come
Hoping they would Save,
Hoping they would Save
Save Her Soul,
Save Her Soul,
Save Her Soul,
Save Her Soul
In the morning,
Save Her Soul
In the afternoon,
Save Her Soul
In the evening,
Save Her Soul.
