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
