[Intro]
I'm cutting up her pure white dress
That I dyed red, that I dyed red
I'm putting scraps in cheap tin lockets
What time erases and memory mocks
I'll send them over the ocean foam
Right into those gentle European homes
[Verse 1]
The slave ship "Blessing" slipped from Liverpool
Over the waves the Royal Navy rules
To go and plunder the kingdom of Benin
Where certain history ends and shame begins
[Verse 2]
Dahomey traders paid in powder and shot
Line up their prisoners and sell them in lots
They packed them tight inside those coffin ships
And they took them to the brand new world of auction blocks and whips
[Intro]
So I'm cutting up her pure white dress
That I dyed red, that I dyed red
I'm putting scraps in cheap tin lockets
What time erases and memory mocks
I'll send them over the ocean foam
Right into those gentle European homes
I'm cutting up her pure white dress
That I dyed red, that I dyed red
I'm putting scraps in cheap tin lockets
What time erases and memory mocks
I'll send them over the ocean foam
Right into those gentle European homes
[Verse 1]
The slave ship "Blessing" slipped from Liverpool
Over the waves the Royal Navy rules
To go and plunder the kingdom of Benin
Where certain history ends and shame begins
[Verse 2]
Dahomey traders paid in powder and shot
Line up their prisoners and sell them in lots
They packed them tight inside those coffin ships
And they took them to the brand new world of auction blocks and whips
[Intro]
So I'm cutting up her pure white dress
That I dyed red, that I dyed red
I'm putting scraps in cheap tin lockets
What time erases and memory mocks
I'll send them over the ocean foam
Right into those gentle European homes
