Free the Slave - KALEO

Lyrics by：JJ Julius Son

Meet me by the riverside

Later on the day

Gonna watch the hanging of an honest man

They say he ain't the guilty one

But someone has to pay

They will not be pleased before they see him hang

As he cries out

Turn and face the crowd

As he cries out

No one makes a sound

As he cries out

Before he hits the ground

He cries out

Where's your spirit now

Drown me in the river

String me from the tree

Won't you free the slave in me

Oh oh

Leave me when the time is near

Leave me be in peace

This is not the way you should remember me

Have you nothing else to say

Final words of truth

Forgive them father

For they know not what they do

As he cries out

Mercy can't be found

As he cries out

No one makes a sound

As he cries out

Before he hits the ground

He cries out

Where is your savior now

Throw me in the ocean

Cast me in the sea

Won't you free the slave in me

Don't you know don't you know

Whoa they're gonna come for you

You can run run on out

Oh they're gonna come for you

Until you bleed oh

Until you bleed oh

Dark days are coming

Dark days so you should take shelter

You should take shelter

Dark days are coming

Dark days are here

Is your conscience clear

Have you seen the brave man

Hanging from a tree

Say who will be the first to see
