|
I remember the blasphemy |
|
As they took us to slavery |
|
Where is your God to save you now |
|
Now fall on your knees and bow |
|
I remember the towering flames |
|
As they burned my fathers remains |
|
I remember the stench of death |
|
As I drew my last free breath |
|
We're slaves forevermore |
|
No one will hear our cries |
|
Chained to the ships of war |
|
To the beat of the drum we rise |
|
Three years have come and gone |
|
Since last I saw my home |
|
Now my back is broken and bent |
|
And my life is nearly spent |
|
We approve of mankinds disgrace |
|
Hold of the warrior race |
|
Never shall we be free |
|
Caught in a vast machine |
|
We're slaves forevermore |
|
No one will hear our cries |
|
Chained to the ships of war |
|
Our cannons with burning eyes |
|
We're slaves forevermore |
|
Our humanity suffers enough |
|
Chained to the ships of war |
|
To the beat of the drums we rise |
|
And they cry! Row! (Row!) |
|
Carry us to the attack |
|
Row! (Row!) |
|
Take us acrossed and back |
|
Row! (Row!) |
|
Carry us onto the kill |
|
Row! (Row!) |
|
Carry us to the blood we shall spill |
|
To the beat of the drums |
|
To the beat of the drums |
|
To the beat of the drums |
|
To the beat of the drums we rise |
