Slave No More

Glowing lamps unknown
Beauty that's never shown
A life of chains and fears
Injustice shed's God's tears
The earth trembles and groans
Aches for these buried treasures
A slave their master owns
Bought and sold with measures

Hope glistens with the dawn
One day chains will be gone
When will that glorious day
Arrive as it may
When freedom breaks the prison
And will is reclaimed
Spirits and hearts risen
Life and love sustained

Endless nightmare transformed
The gates of hell stormed
Chariots of fire ride
Death and light collide
To rip the helpless soul
From and evil slaveowner
To give them a life that's full
Show them no one can own her

The soldiers of heaven 
Must unite as breathren
To destroy this fortress
Take back the helpless
What evil does need
For good to be complacent
The grave then will succeed
Souls trapped in confinement

No, I say! No! No!
I want you slaves to know
Saints pray for you this day
In chains you will not stay
You are not forgotten
You have been given a voice
We'll fight for you often
Until you can rejoice
