《Tobacco Island (Live)》歌词

[00:06:14] All to hell we must sail

[00:06:14] For the shores of sweet Barbados

[00:06:14] Where the sugar cane grows taller

[00:06:14] Than the God we once believed in

[00:06:14] Till the butcher and his crown

[00:06:14] Raped the land we used to sleep in

[00:06:14] Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes

[00:06:14] That haunt tobacco island

[00:06:14] 'Twas 1659 forgotten now for sure

[00:06:14] They dragged us from our homeland

[00:06:14] With the musket and their gun

[00:06:14] Cromwell and his roundheads

[00:06:14] Battered all we know

[00:06:14] Shackled hopes of freedom

[00:06:14] We're now but stolen goods

[00:06:14] Darken the horizon

[00:06:14] Blackened from the sun

[00:06:14] This rotten cage of Bridgetown

[00:06:14] Is where I now belong

[00:06:14] All to hell we must sail

[00:06:14] For the shores of sweet Barbados

[00:06:14] Where the sugar cane grows taller

[00:06:14] Than the God we once believed in

[00:06:14] Till the butcher and his crown

[00:06:14] Raped the land we used to sleep in

[00:06:14] Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes

[00:06:14] That haunt tobacco island

[00:06:14] Red leg down a peg

[00:06:14] Blistered burns the soul

[00:06:14] The floggings they're a plenty

[00:06:14] But reasons there are none

[00:06:14] Our backs belong to landlords

[00:06:14] Where branded is there name

[00:06:14] Paid for with ten shillings

[00:06:14] Cheap labor never breaks

[00:06:14] The silver moon is shinin'

[00:06:14] Cools the copper blood

[00:06:14] Where the livin' meet the dead

[00:06:14] And together dance as one

[00:06:14] All to hell we must sail

[00:06:14] For the shores of sweet Barbados

[00:06:14] Where the sugar cane grows taller

[00:06:14] Than the God we once believed in

[00:06:14] Till the butcher and his crown

[00:06:14] Raped the land we used to sleep in

[00:06:14] Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes

[00:06:14] That haunt tobacco island

[00:06:14] Agony, will you cleanse this misery?

[00:06:14] For it's never again I'll breathe

[00:06:14] The air of home

[00:06:14] From this sandy edge

[00:06:14] The rolling sea breaks my revenge

[00:06:14] With each whisper a thousand waves

[00:06:14] I hear roar, I'm coming home

[00:06:14] Dark is the horizon

[00:06:14] Blackened by the sun

[00:06:14] This rotten cage of Bridgetown

[00:06:14] Is where I now belong

[00:06:14] All to hell we must sail

[00:06:14] For the shores of sweet Barbados

[00:06:14] Where the sugar cane grows taller

[00:06:14] Than the God we once believed in

[00:06:14] Till the butcher and his crown

[00:06:14] Raped the land we used to sleep in

[00:06:14] Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes

[00:06:14] That haunt tobacco island

[00:06:14] All to hell we must sail

[00:06:14] For the shores of sweet Barbados

[00:06:14] Where the sugar cane grows taller

[00:06:14] Than the God we once believed in

[00:06:14] Till the butcher and his crown

[00:06:14] Raped the land we used to sleep in

[00:06:14] Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes

[00:06:14] That haunt tobacco island
