Galley Without Aim

There is riot in the harbour
The chaingang has got the guard
In the steaming, hot disaster
Slavery is fighting hard

And the rifles scream: no mercy!
Die now or be free!
In the haze some took a galley
In search of liberty

Criminals, desperate, resign
Innocent, plea for their lives
Animals, wounded, they cry
They've got no chance
On the galley without aim

On the ocean the storm is wailing
Some have gone over board
And the captain he is praying
Bless our souls, please my Lord!

In the morning: silent mourning
Of the ship that knows all pain
On the bottom it tells the story
Of the galley without aim

Criminals, desperate, resign
Innocent, plea for their lives
Animals, wounded, they cry
They've got no chance
On the galley without aim

Shadows fall on the harbour scenery
A silent call of a galley moving smooth
A dead old ship, a sign names it "Liberty"
And still remains the memory of the
Galley without, Galley with, without aim

Criminals, desperate, resign
Innocent, plea for their lives
Animals, wounded, they cry
They've got no chance
On the galley without aim
