Redemption Song Songtext
von No Use for a Name

Oh pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty.
We move forward in this generation
Triumphantly.

Won′t you help me sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs
Redemption songs


Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy
′Cause none of us can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
You say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the book.

Won′t you help me sing
These songs of freedom
′Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of us can stop the time
How long must they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it′s just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the book.


Won′t you help me sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs
Redemtion songs
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom

Songs of freedom.
