Lamenting land of broken hearts left to bleed
Mahogany misery loves company on bone beach
Seas of skeletons once were hearts on sleeves
Littering black sands like sea shells knee deep
See here the hand that was severed for theft
Stealing for reasons to feed others and self
Now a part of bone beaches black sand
And in the sinful world is a handless man
See here there is a woman without her womb
She killed her children during a full moon
She blamed it on a black man sealing doom
She is destined to a bone beach tomb
The hounds of hell will chew and chew
On all the bones and skulls for food
Never will be full despite what’s consumed
For they too are damned with hunger so huge
Bone beach is where elephants go to die
Bodies bloat souls fly high
But for those who have blackness inside
Outcast to black sands hell hounds eat you alive
