These men who brought me on board Left me abandoned to pain and despair I found myself deprived of any chance To return back home We're packed like animals I had to watch while others suffer and die Lying in pools of puke We've seen the horror I had never seen in my life Some of us Will die along the way But those who stay Will fight to be free again We'll kill the crew And take the ship today We'll take it back Back to our old homeland Crossing The Middle Passage This living hell is close to an end And now it's time to fight The horror screams come from everywhere Fifty days of agony I hope I die before I get there I'll find my peace in death Because I know she is my only true friend Some of us Will die along the way But those who stay Will fight to be free again We'll kill the crew And take the ship today We'll take it back Back to our old homeland Some of us Will die along the way But those who stay Will fight to be free again We'll kill the crew And take the ship today We'll take it back Back to our old homeland
