Thundering cannon fire is roaring through the air
Fighting courageous, driven by despair
Deadly muzzle flash robs them of their pride
Grapnels 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 musket fire 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 scars 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
