Blood Sea-Black History
Taken
Beaten
**** and ******
I hear your cries
From the ocean floor
Big ships came
Like a butterfly in itsΒ cocoon
And you smile
Your innocents fades
As you sink down
Staring up
Like millions before and after you
What did we do to deserve this
Which king did we rob?
Which princess did we offend?
That our souls fill the ocean floor
I look out at the sea
And I see
The bones of my people
Their voices muffled by the white waves
But I hear them whisper
Let our blood not beΒ in vain.
