Lure of the good life, lead into the promised land

Crossing over borders hand in hand

Giving trust in the face of danger

The battle of control has just begun

Common language, universal tongue

Serving up salvation, liberators, pimps in disguise

Enforcing thresholds to survive

Switching on to satisfy, servants must perform

Foreign acts of desperation, mercantile for existence



Enslaved, abused and betrayed

Trapped in the skin trade, trapped in the skin trade



[Chorus :]

Screaming in silence

Exchanging skin for gold



Messiah, turned traitor, leaves all callous and drained

Providing for hideous and the lame

Enticed into a snare, held in a prison now called home

Executing foul gratification

Exposed to random acts of physical disgust

Compelled to adhere to the captures corrupt mind

Switching on to safety, servants must perform

Foreign acts of desperation, mercantile for existence



Enslaved, abused and betrayed

Trapped in the skin trade, trapped in the skin trade



[Chorus:]

Screaming in silence

Exchanging skin for gold

Slavery sold to, suffering into

Exchanging skin for gold
