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
