[Intro: Dan Bull]
Lord forgive us our trespasses
[Verse 1: Dan Bull]
Have you heard of him?
They say he murders men
Considers slaves to be more than beasts of burden when
They should be serving French, English, and German men
Doing the work, and letting us spread the word of heaven
There's a passage in the Bible:
Shackles are fine, and chattel is like when you're buying cattle
The idea of rights is clear idle chatter
Why do we act like their lives should matter?
Now they're rising, the slaves are revolting
The plantation in flames they are razing the whole thing
Taking control, flee
Breaking the chains, reclaiming their souls and escaping the pain
I'm gonna run and hide inside the governors house
But there's a rising tide that's flooding us out
Sinking our boat, no quarter or parley
No one endured who has fought Adewale
[Hook: Tristan D. Lalla] x2
Rise up my people rise
And reply
To the call
Of your creed
When freedom cries
