Thundering cannonfire is roaring through the air
They're fighting courageous, driven by despair
Deadly muzzle slash robs them of their pride
Grapuels claw the rail, vessels're side by side
Slavery, the pain of the sea
Slavery, inhumanity
Slavery, the pain of the sea
Slavery, inhumanity
Brutes are taking over to claim their living spoils
Cracking musketfire until every plank is foiled
Surrender's the only way to stop this deadly raid
Bloody, settered 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 as a legacy of the past
Punishment's long overdue to fight the fears it casts
Hard-boiled criminals, they're rotten to the core
Machinery in motion, s'long of 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
