Servant To The Slave

Leaving for an unknown shore

With every breeze just like a sigh

The sea is deep with tears of those before

With feelings like the sea birds cry

It gently took me by the hand

Across the ocean blue

And placed me in a foreign land

Far away from you

No more the ancient conversation

Replies with just a nod

No fiddle plays a lamentation

No slowly burning sod

No smiles await on Ellis

Fears of the unknown

Only tired hearts of the countless

People taken from their homes

To be drawn across an ocean

This crooked path we pave

On earth's eternal motion

To be a servant to the slave

Wait and yearn to be released

As the ground beneath you heaves

Turn your gaze to the East

Reflect on what the cold wake leaves

To be drawn across an ocean

This crooked path we pave

On earth's eternal motion

To be a servant to the slave

To be drawn across na ocean

This crooked path we pave

On earth's eternal motion

To be a servant to the slave

To be drawn across an ocean

This crooked path we pave

On earth's eternal motion

To be a servant to the slave...
