» From "The Lyric Thread" // August 06, 2009 4:13:14 PM UTC

I wrote these lyrics a while ago with the guitarist/singer in my band. They aren't too good but feedback would be appreciated. The song is about slavery and racism, that kinda stuff. Also the song goes in and out of the slaves point of view and the slave master type person's point of view.
Avarice For Freedom
Work them all to death
Watching their lives slowely burn
From their eyes
Tonight
I've been trapped in this cage of doubt and lies
For far too long
No more misery (misery)
No more punishment
As they break free from this curse
My power they shall reverse
FREEDOM!
Why is there this torture?
When there is no sin
Unequal to the rest
Just because of skin
I've been trapped in this cage of doubt and lies
For far too long
Rebellion (fight, fight
Our time to fight
Now they rebel from this curse
Starting a grand massacre
Laid waste to the land
Beaten by god's own hand
And death comes knocking
Tonight
