lyrics

Crack of dawn and I arise
Cock-crow; drudgery calls
Morning light upon my bed of straw
Brushing the straw from my rags
Tightening the leather thongs
The cold metal bar between the straps
An ankle brace, restricts my movement
Yet, the only way to stand on my own two feet
A flashback of past cracking of bones
The only birthright that is ours
For the masters to break our minds in
Tear apart our ankle bones, stop us from running

Pledge allegiance to your master
As he squeezes the spirit from your soul
Pledge allegiance to your lord
Your birthright to subservience
Scared, so fucking scared
Bound hand and foot by fear
Tied to the stake of your own passivity
The bracken at your feet
You’re just waiting for the fire
The final burning of your soul

I stagger to the door;
A makeshift board against a hole
Gaze towards sunrise
But the morning mist obscures my view
The cracking whip rings in my ears
The slave master calls
Weals of rotting flesh ripple my back
A brand of my allegiance

Contemptuously gaze at the masters
Their minds forever in bondage
The privileged few who deny my freedom
I’ll sit and bide my time
Play their game for now
I demand a pound of your flesh
A POUND OF YOUR FLESH
