Van Canto - The Seller Of Souls Lyrics

I love Van Canto.

I am the hangman's son.
I'm trading in souls and their bereavements.
When all your life is gone
I'm weighing your sins and your achievements.
Oh - I'm the seller of souls.
I'm heading for whom the bell tolls.
Oh - I'm the seller of souls.
In league with the devil himself.

We came to sell our souls among.
We're here to sing with you along.
This is the soul collector's song,
sing and spare your life!
Come sing with me your final song.
We're here to sing it all night long.
This is the soul collector's song
sing to spare your life!

A real life is paved with sin.
I won't cleanse their soul from all their features.
Cause it's human strain therein.
So precious to have as human creatures.
Oh - I'm the seller of souls.
I'm heading for whom the bell tolls.
Oh - I'm the seller of souls.
Give the devil his due when he comes for you.

We came to sell our souls among.
We're here to sing with you along.
This is the soul collector's song,
sing and spare your life!
Come sing with me your final song.
We're here to sing it all night long.
This is the soul collector's song
sing to spare your life!

I love Van Canto! LOL, it's so hilarious how they're using a piece of styrofoam to represent a human soul or a ghost or whatever. Low-budget yet creative. If you never thought you'd hear metal, do-wop and opera in the same track, think again!

I love the part where the guitar players stops for a while

*Polacy

My polacy mamy wyebane na diabła;)

fck ACTA

INCREDIBLE! Big thanks from Poland;)

Its starts with the inception foghorn are you kidding me.

that's just napalm's logo sound at the time :P

To all the people complaining about the video and Sly's weird faces (@AgentTripleH @Sven Koller @Trans Girl Omni @Carmen De Jesus ): watch the video from link below (especially around 3:35-3:40) and you should understand. If not, just ask and I will try to explain it, although there might be no hope left for you.

Play this at my funeral.

безумный взгляд вокалиста придает невероятное очарование и дикий пафос тривиальному хэви я дико ржал, понравилось

play this at my funeral.

Amazing

I miss sly not only the voice but also the acting and the beauty, sniff

I know the feeling, he was my favorite member of the group. Hagen can't replace him

I want to hear a cover of this with instruments

Wanne Go to a concert of Van Canto sooooo badly

I have listened to this song quite often already, but only now I noticed this: is this your final song to sing or is this song to save your life?:O

Haha, this is so bad, it's hilarious.

ok ok i cant be the only one hearing salt isnted of souls whene the "ima the seller of souls " part rolls arround

cringer of souls

i can't believe that this band isn't world famous excellent work keep up \m/

right? I discovered them today by accidents and I am obsessed with how good they are

This is awful

i never understand this band..but is awesome

I mean, if I had to find something positive about this... Sorry but I have heard better. This is a little bland to me. Heard better females in metal (Alissa of Archenemy springs to mind, as does Mascha of Arkona fame, Simone of Epica if you like high notes, the list goes on) Heard better drummers (Bill Ward and Vinnie Apice from Sabbath, "Thomen" Stauch of Blind Guardian, Avenged Sevenfold's Rev...) I mean, I could keep going. Probably the best thing about this song is the use of percussion as the only non-vocal instrument.

You maybe forgot to mention the fact that there is no instrument other than the drum, that's the whole point of this group's music. Good analysis. Probably the best thing about your comment is the "vote down" button.

i can't be the only one who envisioned something entirely different for the music video

What's that face at 0:25?!

A bit too short but really good. I think I got a new favorite song from Van Canto!

Best beat boxing ever... confirmed...

Looks like Philip is talking shit serious about singing along the soul collector's song

your voices are amazing

This my fav one cause the girls voice so hypnotic

power voices, metal tune!!!

pause @ 2:56 lmfao

You have gone through a devastating change. I love you, still, but none of your nrw covers can match Bard's Song.... Into the forest. I will always be you fan, but please, don't lose the emotional vibe you had years ago.. Like the Fear of the Dark cover many years ago... Be you

seller of souls - it's cover of something or them song?

original song

böser Schaum.. vernichten muss. *nickt*

possibly the worst thing I have ever heard 😦

+Craig Sanders but yet again, Probably not the worst "thing" you've ever heard :))

I love when Sly has bubbles in both arms....GOT ME SOME MUTHAFUCKIN BUBBLES BITCH!

What the Hell -,-
Eine Metal-Acapella-Band!!! Sowas geniales hab ich ja noch nie gehört!!! Danke Leute!!! Ihr seid der Wahnsinn, macht weiter so!!!

A Metal-Acapella-Band!!!! Something brilliant, i´ve never heard of that. Thanks Guys!! You´re awesome, keep up!!!

2016 Bitches!!!

would love to hear this in in german

I'm the seller of holes ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

Soap commercial video ^^
Very nice song tho!

Inga is still the hottest metal lady around.

@freierHimmel Don't get me wrong, i'm definetley not into manboobs, but she still colud be a savage vegan growling godess :D

Looks aside, Inga is one of the most brilliant vocalists I've ever heard, metal or not. Don't get me wrong, though, because she's incredibly attractive, as well. But when it comes to music, talent is definitely a priority to looks.

+MrKekson alissa seems to me like an arrogant bitch, her singing/growling is so bland, the band as a whole sounds boring and unoriginal, but thats just my opinion...

Elize Ryd

tatiana shmaylyuk is the best

GINGERS UNITE!

Van Canto, the only ones who can make riddly diddly and bubbles seem so metal

right?!

Inga is as beautiful and sexy as ever

This is possibly my favorite vancanto song. Simply amazing!

That's right dude, smash those bubbles

Smash 'DEMMM fucking buuubleeesss

Reminds me of Crowley from Supernatural.

omg yes!!!!

This song sort of reminds me of Dark Souls.

Dragonheart132 oh yeah

İ L-O-V-E VAN CANTO...!!! 😍 \m/ 💙
The most unique Metal band EVER!

Slys Voice is great, his gestures and his facemeltdown aint :D
Well anyway, the music is still great ;)

+AgentTripleH I agree they are my favorite Metal band but the (mimical/gestical) performance is more funny than anything else

+Sven Koller someone mustve told him once: good good… but more teeth, more EYES!

without the teeth he would only look a bit less creepy but the more funny

WTF Napalm!!! Bring Van Canto to the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tour Tour Tour Tour Tour Tour!

Did they ever make it

thats so awesome :)

hab euch in München erlebt, war echt Klasse!

Powered by EMP?!

By a frickin' EMP?

Lolwut?  Impossibruh!

мне ваша абривиатура заебла

I proud of them...they write beautiful song. And I want to see them an other time ! They were perfect the last time, but now, with the Dawn Of The Brave album, I really want to see them again !

The song is kind of cool... but the video is a shit!!! Souls made of bubble!!! Jah!

......the fuck.............?

Ich hätte nicht geglaubt das mich nach mehr als 30 Jahren Metaller sein noch etwas überraschen könnte...Van Canto hat es geschafft ich sitze bei jedem anhören immer noch mit vor staunen offenem Mund da und mit einem Gigantischen Grinsen..einfach NUR Geil das Ganze! :)

Awesome

Thank you Napalm Records! It's very amazing and Van Canto is my favourite Band.

Inga totally deserves her family name <3

Holy shit way overdoing the facial expressions and shit in the video. I can't even try to appreciate the music with how bad this video is.

You're opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

@EvilBakaCat
 LOL, right. I should feel bad about laughing at the corniest music video ever? Right.... Look at him, the main dude takes a dump on camera at the end just to symbolize how retarded this band is.

@maixlover
 See my original comment for my reply to that.

I think it's highly unlikely that Sly doesn't realize how ridiculous his expressions are, that's part of the fun.

The thing about van Canto, they don't take themselves seriously.  They're in it to have fun and make music.  They're not in it to be ridiculously serious about everything.  They're serious about making good music, but they realize that they're perfectly free to goof off with it at the same time.

This shit is straight up comedy. Always good for a laugh

ich höre das immer beim dark souls zocken XD

I'm gonna see Van Canto live tommorow evening, I can't wait! So fucking exited! :D :D

Sabaton Open Air Festival in Falun, Sweden. I was working at the festival.

@Jonathan Nilsson cool ... damn i feel jelous :/ im happy for ya tho dont get me wrong :)

I recorded them playing If I Die in Battle. Haven't had time to upload it yet but I think I will.
It was a great show, even if Sabaton themselfs did give a better show I have to say! :)

что так сразу ? заднюю включаеш

Jonathan Nilsson You still didn't :c

I just mı̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̨ade you wipe your screen.

What is this black magic? D:

So not metal that it's fucking metal.

Im in love <3

i woud gladly sell my soul to that bad ass Sly!

Selling my soul.. PM offers..!
Great song! <3

A cada álbum que passa o Van Canto se supera mais e mais... uma obra prima...

van canto is the best band in the world and I take it as a great example                                van canto je nejlepší skupina na světě a beru ji jako veliký vzor And anyone who thinks that is so terrible in my opinion, three to the head :) a kdo si myslí že je hrozná tak je podle mne troch na hlavu :)

Took me a bit to realize that the bubbles are in the shape of VC

Haaaaachja :3 Mein absolutes Lieblingslied :D 

Und diese Seifenblasen *^*

speaking of bubbles they should do a cover of system of a downs bubbles

I still like this video and also the funny bubbles - what a great idea!

FUCKING BUBBLES!

You have no idea how much I love you for that

These are not just any bubbles. These are the most hardcore bubbles you will ever see.

@Scythe Penguin Bubbles made of metal? Sounds hot. If you know what I mean.

Very cool, i love it

that girl sure has an interesting and attractive jaw :D

@Zalán Meggyesi i think you ment "metal-stable"

@Quaziqual fucking gloriest comment ever made my day :D

the flying foam is disturbing :D

It's the band logo floating around.

Who wrote these lyrics, a ten-year-old? Lmao.

I cant stop laughing at this shit!!!! Got an image of these weirdoes practicing in some assholes basement! LOL! Fuckin clowns!!!

All the years I wasted practicing when I could have just hummed????

hmm, I am one of those gingers too.

Hey look, Deborah Morgan came back to life and started singing.
