You write your song And tell an eternal tale of slavery In your bitterest voice Rich man rich life Stripped bare you pay by your poverty Your sun knows no sky Your rags are their riches In your sorrow they take pride Struggle to survive If you lose faith and all that is left to believe Bringing salvation to it's knees We all live we all cry Then you work until you die We all live we all cry Then you work until you die You are living in a fallen world that prays for resurrection Your heart sings of hidden darkness in the dying day Doing right with wrong on a burning cross Living alone in fear and hate Living alone in fear and hate If you lose faith and all that is left to believe Bringing salvation to it's knees And if you should fall from grace and have nothing left to believe Bring exploitation to it's knees And if your people break down these walls Bringing salvation to it's knees Then you work until you die Then you work until you die Bring exploitation to it's knees
