Oh Death Hear my appeal And take me from these curling fields Born to a bitter man A victim of his fate A broken destiny Was written on his face You will toil Work the soil All your years Son you'll see You'll never leave These curling fields On empty stomachs No breakfast to consume The workers shuffle Through the never-ending gloom Wicked hoes to carve the rows To please the mighty mitts Dragging off the bounty to The endless frying pits Bloody soil, scalding oil Mixed with tears Life goes by, lift my cry To deaf ears Oh Death Hear my appeal And take me from these curling fields Oh Death Hear my appeal And take me from these curling fields Five generations lost Five more yet to come Disenfranchised Crushed under his thumb On mighty steeds He oversees A wasted land My body's broken I've got nothing left to weep Trudge past the pastures Where my ancestors now sleep My severed finger My twisted back Laid upon the altar of His all-consuming Hat Lifetime gone Pain drags on Through the years But there will come the one Who frees us from our bonds And rings the bell A orphan born of hate Will seal the masters' fate The stories tell In smoking peaks He'll find your weakness And the refuge of your soul And he'll release us To the sweetness of that Never-ending toll When death Heeds our appeal And breaks you on these curling fields
