Thundering cannon fire is roaring

through the air

They're fighting courageous, driven by despair

Deadly muzzle flash robs them of their pride

Grapuels claw the rail, vessels side by side



Slavery, the pain of the sea

Slavery, inhumanity



Brutes are taking over

To claim their living spoils

Cracking musketfire until every plank is soiled

Surrender's, the only way

to stop this deadly raid

Bloody, fettered wrists, slavery's their fate



Slavery, the pain of the sea

Slavery, inhumanity

Slavery, the pain of the sea

Slavery, inhumanity



Slave trade still exists, it's a legacy of the past

Punishment's long overdue

To fight the fears it casts

Hard - boiled criminals,

they're rotten to the core

Machinery in motion

so long as money is the law



Slavery, the pain of the sea

Slavery, inhumanity

Slavery, the pain of the sea

Slavery, inhumanity

Slavery, the pain of the sea

Slavery, inhumanity
