Slaverys Stain

Land of thee brave home of lies Beneath stars and stripes that fill the skies Slavery's stain truth denied Where innocence died we can't hide Yo from sea to shining sea, land of the free But truth unveils a darker side, you see Built on backs of those in chains A nation's hypocrisy igniting flames Preached equality justice they sold Shackles and chains hearts turned cold Plantation wealth grew humanity cried Freedom façade as innocence died They sang of justice and liberty's glow Hatred and oppression it did grow Profits surged as lashes scarred Innocence vanished hearts deeply scarred Struggles endured silenced pain Generations marked still we remain Wounds unseen stories unfold Innocence lost stories untold Through the years we rise above Resilient hearts strength and love Voices unite in unity's dance Innocence lost still we advance Land of thee brave home of lies Beneath stars and stripes that fill the skies Slavery's stain truth denied Where innocence died we can't hide Spoke of liberty yet chains did cling Foundation of lies, let freedom ring Cotton fields bloomed wealth amassed Justice for all That dream faded fast Cash crop of humans profits immense Dreams crushed no retribution's defense Cracked whips, shattered lives Untold stories pain survives Whispers of ancestors strength in the breeze Roots run deep through centuries Silent resilience spirits soar Innocence lost forevermore Embracing heritage futures entwined Through darkness a light will find Innocence lives on in hearts that mend We'll rise above united in the end Land of thee brave home of lies Beneath stars and stripes that fill the skies Slavery's stain truth denied Where innocence died we can't hide Foundations on stolen ground blood spilled Natives displaced their spirits chilled Manifest destiny a twisted creed Exploitation suffering hearts bleed Broken treaties trails of tears so vast Centuries of pain shadows cast Price of progress a heavy toll Innocence lost a fractured soul Walked ancestral paths seeking grace Struggles endured culture's embrace Tribes united spirits remain Innocence lost their strength sustained Healing wounds we stand tall Answering history's urgent call Innocence echoes through time's embrace A legacy of hope a brighter space Land of thee brave, home of lies Beneath stars and stripes that fill the skies Slavery's stain, truth denied Where innocence died we can't hide Land of the brave, home of lies Beneath stars and stripes that fill the skies Slavery's stain truth denied Where innocence died we can't hide
