Free the Slave Songtext
von Kaleo

Meet me by the riverside
Later on the day
Gonna watch the hanging of an honest man
They say he ain't the guilty one
But someone has to pay
They will not be pleased before they see him hang

As he cries out, turn and face the crowd
As he cries out, no one makes a sound
As he cries out, oh, he hits the ground
He cries out
Where is your spirit now
Find me in the river
String me from a tree
So won't you free the slave in me
Oh, oh


Leave me when the time is near
Leave me be in peace
This is not the way you should remember me
Have you nothing else to say
Final words of truth
Forgive them father for they know not what they do

As he cries out, mercy can't be found
As he cries out, no one makes a sound
As he cries out, before he hits the ground
He cries out, where is your savior now
Throw me in the ocean
Cast me in the sea
So won't you free the slave in me

Don't you know, oh, don't you know
Whoa, they're going to come for you
You can run, run on now
Oh, they're going to come for you
Until you bleed out
Until you bleed out
Dark days is coming
Dark days, so you should take shelter
You should take shelter
Dark days is coming
Dark days are here


So is your conscience clear
Have you seen the brave man hanging from the tree
Say, who'll be the first to see
