Ghost of a Slave Songtext
von Ill Omened

Everyday vicious beatings
With every intent to degrade
Overwhelmed by hateful feelings
But you will remember my name

Behold: ghost of a slave
Control; torture and shame
Overruled; captured and chained
Wretched soul; ghost of a slave

I never had an education
I never had a home
Forced into occupation
Building a fortune that I′ll never own

Hungry and weak
Chains on my feet
Open the sky
Ready to die


Taken away
Long for my grave
Life of abuse
Put me to use

Contradiction of Liberty
Religion of superiority

Hungry and Sick
Die by the whip
Dirty and cold
Bought and sold

Work all day
To get you paid
Ready to die
Open the sky

Validate economy
Treat with inhumanity

No more vicious beatings
No more being a slave
I was a human being
And you will remember my name

Behold: Ghost of a slave
