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
