You've been taken
From all that
You've ever known
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
Coffers of strangers
Pushing further
Beaten well into the night
We cannot alter or change
Against our will held in chains
Difference in 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
Against our will held in chains
Difference in 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
Against our will held in chains
Difference in 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
