Back from the dead, Rise from my soil bed Alive to take claim, And rule another day Promising Light, Gave life to the night And the night gave life to us, To leave them in the dust (chorus) Your will we must begin to crush A slave you’re made to hear us play A slave you’re made, A slave you’ll stay There’s not much to brag, But talk about a drag As our progress shows, You’ll flock to us in droves Tell your leaders that we’ve come, And we’re still hungry from The years we lay dormant, Surely we’re not heaven sent
