Slave Trade
Dream a dream
Sell me south
No regrets
No memories
Take me from
From where it's warm
Can't hear the call
Such sounds and smells
This new jungle seen evermore
When light fades, new creatures call
These sounds disturb my simple mind
A thousand legs combined, crawling inside
No escape
From this new life
Only thoughts of fear
To occupy
Encomienda
These are the consequences
A new mule is needed
And our friends, they sell us
This new jungle seen evermore
When light fades, new creatures call
These sounds disturb my simple mind
A thousand legs combined, crawling inside
Torn from my home by a race not so different
Sold to strangers, masters of metal
Who knew such cruelty with the lash in the hand
Crawl onto the ships or fall on the sand
This new jungle ever-growing
All light fades. Smallpox rivers flowing
These sounds disturbed my simple mind
The first masters, now slaves in our time
Sell me south
No regrets
No memories
Take me from
From where it's warm
Can't hear the call
Such sounds and smells
This new jungle seen evermore
When light fades, new creatures call
These sounds disturb my simple mind
A thousand legs combined, crawling inside
No escape
From this new life
Only thoughts of fear
To occupy
Encomienda
These are the consequences
A new mule is needed
And our friends, they sell us
This new jungle seen evermore
When light fades, new creatures call
These sounds disturb my simple mind
A thousand legs combined, crawling inside
Torn from my home by a race not so different
Sold to strangers, masters of metal
Who knew such cruelty with the lash in the hand
Crawl onto the ships or fall on the sand
This new jungle ever-growing
All light fades. Smallpox rivers flowing
These sounds disturbed my simple mind
The first masters, now slaves in our time
