Letra

The days were void of light
The nights swallowed our pain whole like a reptilian predator
But that was on Earth, the devil's playground
Where evil rendezvous with the innocent
And the victim become the enemy
The enemy of the powers that be
Regimes that gain their power by illicit means
Lies
Writing the Constitution while breaking the Ten Commandments
Laws
Laws that don't exist where we are now
The highest of all places, both known and unknown
Freedom to talk to God
The glory to call Heaven home
A home where golden rivers flow
And beauty is as abundant as the stars
We are amongst the stars
We are the stars
Shining our light as the Lord intended
The souls of the oppressed shall not suffer in the afterlife
Before we became eternal spirits
And our worldly freedoms were sacrificed
Chained in unspeakable and devastating bondage
The Lord heard your cries
And answered your prayers with a beautiful surprise
A covenant that shall not be altered, hidden, or broken
An eternal ashé to the spirits of the enslaved
A seat next to God for you has been made
Ashé, ashé
Ashé, ashé
Ashé
Now when you read the word "slave" in your false history books
You will know the truth
The so-called masters unknowingly elevated the souls of their property
While simultaneously building a tomb in Hell for themselves
Ashé, ashé
Ashé, ashé
Ashé
