Lyrics

On a dark morning when the clouds were still forming
they slept like human beings
Not knowing in the bushes which normally had thrushes
hid things of hate

They crept into the clearing
which had never been defiled, they had never been denied
To take away all that was pure
In a hate-campaign that left many insane

In a single moment they were turned into slaves
With not a hope of freeing their chains
In one swift move they lost their world
to the rage & hate of racism

[Give us free] x 7

[Music]

They were taken on big ships, with tied-up hands & sealed lips
huddled in the dark
Demons sometimes whipping, lashing-out & raping
those dark figures at their will

They took them to a promised land
To put them to the grind, tie-them-up forever
To take all that was left in them
Till their clothes were torn & tattered, their souls were all but battered

In a single moment they were turned into slaves
With not a hope of freeing their chains
In one swift move they lost their world
to the rage & hate of racism

[Give us free] x 7

The sun was high & searing
It burnt into their flesh, as they lay flat on the deck
In the darkness they were made to row
Till their minds were racked with fever, and their bodies could'nt do more

In a single moment they were turned into slaves
With not a hope of freeing their chains
In one swift move they lost their world
to the rage & hate of racism

[Give-us-free] x 7
