366

Struggle with the current Dragged down into the dark No reward waiting No salvation or ark Unseen borders To protect the nation state Sink like stones to the bottom Not once a white man's fate One final escape Deported into the deep 366 Too many heroes for the hull to keep Upon a heartless sea Where dreams come to die Upon a heartless sea Our willing sacrifice That's someone's sister That's someone's son I've got a sister I'm someone's son I want a better life And I'm not the only one As the waves come crashing With the rejected and poor Bodies upon bodies They shall overcome no more So hail to the capital That will set us free Free to drown and free to die To slave eternally Upon a heartless sea Where dreams come to die Upon a heartless sea Our willing sacrifice That's someone's sister That's someone's son I've got a sister I'm someone's son I want a better life And I'm not the only one After forcing them to want our lives We rip the honour from their sacrifice We close our coffers and we close our eyes Dragged down by the weight of freedom Dragged down by the loss of hope
