The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've been taken
From all that
You've ever know
There's no question
You're already on your own
What's going on here
What have we done
Someting's wrong
This can't be right
Coffles and strangers
Pushing further
Beaten well into the night
We cannot alter or change
Gainst our will held in chains
Difference colour of skin
Is my sin
What gives them the right to
Take away
All I could've loved til my
Dying day
Is this bridge really destined to burn
Pale skinned serpent
There's no conscience eating you
My sole purpose
What God has done onto you
What if the tables were reversed
With all your rights taken away
Suddenly, perverse
It's a nightmare
No one's waking you today
We cannot alter or change
Gainst our will held in chains
Difference colour of skin
Is my sin
What gives them the right to
Take away
All I could've loved til my
Dying day
Is this bridge really destined to burn
Shrouded in fear
Morales reversed now
Battered til the core to one's soul
Lighter a shade
You steal then you break
Even one's own faith
We cannot alter or change
Gainst our will held in chains
Difference colour of skin
Is my sin
What gives them the right to
Take away
All I could've loved til my
Dying day
Is this bridge really destined to burn
