Struggle with the current
Dragged down into the dark
No reward waiting
No salvation or ark
Unseen borders
To protect the nation state
Sink like stones to the bottom
Not once a white man's fate
One final escape
Deported into the deep
366
Too many heroes for the hull to keep
Upon a heartless sea
Where dreams come to die
Upon a heartless sea
Our willing sacrifice
That's someone's sister
That's someone's son
I've got a sister
I'm someone's son
I want a better life
And I'm not the only one
As the waves come crashing
With the rejected and poor
Bodies upon bodies
They shall overcome no more
So hail to the capital
That will set us free
Free to drown and free to die
To slave eternally
Upon a heartless sea
Where dreams come to die
Upon a heartless sea
Our willing sacrifice
That's someone's sister
That's someone's son
I've got a sister
I'm someone's son
I want a better life
And I'm not the only one
After forcing them to want our lives
We rip the honour from their sacrifice
We close our coffers and we close our eyes
Dragged down by the weight of freedom
Dragged down by the loss of hope
