Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence."

I plead, I beg
I curse time
I want for my life

I ask, I question
I wonder, come my prime
I want for my dignity

The world lies
Something I despise
I want for truth

The hell fire engulfs us
It burns our souls
I want for freedom

We wallow in sadness
Cloaked in darkness
I want for hope

Death claims us
We walk that road
We want for nothing
