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
