Walk through the sand, scarred open land Hopin? to sell my soul to the man Called out his name but he never came No hope in hell is all that remains In a ship on the sea, my mama bore me Not yet a slave but no longer free She gave me a name covered in shame Now a whisper of her is all that remains I remember the day they took her from me ? Lord?, she screamed,? Have mercy on me!? But the darkness was vast and her cries they grew thin Until all that was left was the moan of the wind Now the limbs of a tree beckon to me Come my child, hang from me But I turned from that sin for the voice it was him To succumb to that deed, means he'll always win There? s a blue sky above, no place down below No place but this earth forever to roam So I walk this whole world through pity and pain This wicked old world is all that remains Now you can? t be no saint, no sinner, no lamb When the Devil himself says you ain? t worth a damn But you can live without fear of damnation? s reign And fight till what? s right is all that remains And fight till what? s right is all that remains Fight till what? s right is all that remains Fight till what? s right is all that remains
