People of the Abyss

You write your song
And tell an eternal tale of slavery
In your bitterest voice
Rich man rich life
Stripped bare you pay by your poverty
Your sun knows no sky
Your rags are their riches
In your sorrow they take pride
Struggle to survive

If you lose faith and all that is left to believe
Bringing salvation to it's knees

We all live we all cry then you work until you die
We all live we all cry then you work until you die

You are living in a fallen world that prays for resurrection
Your heart sings of hidden darkness in the dying day
Doing right with wrong on a burning cross
Living alone in fear and hate
Living alone in fear and hate

If you lose faith and all that is left to believe
Bringing salvation to it's knees

And if you should fall from grace and have nothing left to believe
Bring exploitation to it's knees
And if your people break down these walls
Bringing salvation to it's knees

Then you work until you die
Then you work until you die
If you should fall from grace and have nothing left to believe
Bring exploitation to it's knees
