One dark night on the ship Amistad A sudden strike from the shadows aboard Rage like wildfire on the sea For the taste of freedom the blood runs red The deck is stained with fire and blood Mutiny the only way With saber and gun they try to defend The fist of slave raised high Amistad rebellion - fight back Hellbent to turn the fate Amistad rebellion - fight back Unchained in rage The faces of soldiers in panic and fear The slaves have taken the ship in their hands The cages are broken and no more chains Now riding the waves with their face in the wind
