Old pirates, yes, they rob ISold I to the merchant shipsMinutes after they took I, from the bottomless pitBut my hand was made strong, By the hand of the AlmightyWe forward this generation triumphantly…Won’t you help to sing, these songs of freedom?Because all I ever haveRedemption songsRedemption songsEmancipate yourselves from mental slavery!None but ourselves can free our minds!Have no fear for atomic energyBecause none of them can stop the timeHow long shall they kill our prophets, while we stand aside and look?Some say it’s just a part of it…We’ve got to fulfil the Book
