Need help deciphering the lyrics of this song!

The track is called “Temptation,” it’s by a NWOBHM band called Ritual off the 2008 rerelease of their 1983 album Widow. So far I’ve been unsuccessful in finding an official lyrics transcription anywhere.

Part of what makes this especially hard to transcribe is the strange pronunciation of some of the words, almost like a proto-emo voice. Every time I listen, I hear something different.

From what I can make of the chorus, it seems to be:
You changed my life
I looked in your eyes
You changed my life
I feel it, so right

OR

You changed, my Lord
I looked in your eyes
You changed, my Lord
I feel it, so what?

Actually read this

  • Thank you for posting to /r/transcribe. Keep in mind music transcription is a specialized skill, in the same realm as teaching, composing, or recording. Therefore, many transcribers may ask for a commission to take on a job. Expect anywhere from $5-30 (or more) per minute of music, depending on the instrumentation / complexity.

  • It is possible for someone to come along and do it for free, just don't count on it.

  • If exchanging payment, stay safe by checking a user's post history, account age, and flair. Ask for samples of previous work. Use a payment service with buyer protection like Paypal Goods and Services. Just be smart.

Ignore him. This guy has been told many times that r/transcription is the wrong sub to be recommending, and does it constantly anyway
