Songtext von Dead Man

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 pretensions '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 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 Slave to another man Slave in the promised land Out of reach for a helping hand Chained for a greater cause 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
