Slavedrivers grinder needs its meat
Don't give up don't surrender
As long as I am standing on my feet
I am the great defender
Ten years of slaving makes you hard
One minute lasts forever
My body's broken up and scarred
I don't want to remember
Your whip won't touch my skin again
Break all the chains my friend
Now we rise
I am the master of the cage
Your whip can not protect you
I can't feel pain through all my rage
You got nowhere to run to
My hands are griping
'round your throat
Each whiplash made me stronger
I watch as life is leaving you
No torment any longer
Don't give up don't surrender
As long as I am standing on my feet
I am the great defender
Ten years of slaving makes you hard
One minute lasts forever
My body's broken up and scarred
I don't want to remember
Your whip won't touch my skin again
Break all the chains my friend
Now we rise
I am the master of the cage
Your whip can not protect you
I can't feel pain through all my rage
You got nowhere to run to
My hands are griping
'round your throat
Each whiplash made me stronger
I watch as life is leaving you
No torment any longer
