Chains:

' Yah ' in ancient Hebrew This is the name you were known by During the ages mankind not by your will but their own Choose to deceive man And call you not by thy name The truth was re-written Powers were conceal, what a selfish deed. A generation betrayed Brought as slaves at the highest bidder to be trade A price so priceless A generation so divided Names forgotten souls lost. Father I am tired of these chains Its time for the great change Let your words re-arrange Deliver thy people Break the curse Loosen thy chains. Call us out by our names O' ISRAEL', you should be ashamed We are to be blamed We sold our brother For a pot of gold We should of been told. You know you are to be blame The blood of my ancestors Are written on the walls Your hands are stained. O' ISRAEL even though I was brought Sold into slavery Abused and torn Raped and Ridiculed Rob and denied I now cannot deny, I am to blame. YAH, Forgive me,Self Lead me astray I can no longer deny My eyes were betrayed My heart was broken My mind was clouded I am so ashamed.
