Nothing's different since yesterday
Still not a man but property
The liberated call me devil's creation
A disgrace in the eye of god
They make me plead
For mercy then
Whip me again
They lure me with
False pretentions
'Til I'm driven mad
Just when it feels right
They tighten the noose
And pull me back in
I'm slave to another man
Slave in the promised land
Out of reach for a helping hand
Chained to the ground
I can't shake it off
It's now a part of me
It's in my system and
Runs through my veins
I take a step forward
And I fall two steps back
I've lost my identity
Unaccepted I walk through this land
Degraded until I'm too afraid
In the end hanging in a rope
Condemned by faithful hand
-Solo-
I'm a slave to another man
Slave in the promised land
Out of reach for a helping hand
Chained to the ground
Slave to another man
Slave in the promised land
Out of reach for a helping hand
Chained for a greater cause
-Solos-
Once a man now utterly destroyed
Dragged down the road
And now accepts his fate
Out of reach for a helping hand
Chained for a greater cause
Though he knows there
Will be another time
A time to repay for
Man what he has done
I'm a slave to another man
Slave in the promised land
Out of reach for a helping hand
Chained to the ground
Slave to another man
Slave in the promised land
Out of reach for a helping hand
Chained for a greater cause
