Alagoas - Cloudscape

Inside a green little house

No sunshine reaches the floor

She came from africa

So tight her hands were tied

To a worn wooden chair

She arrived from africa

By boat she travelled far

In a cage like an animal

Whips and chains… crying her eyes out

No sun below the deck

No chance of escaping

She lived in africa

Tonight she’s left alone

Healing her scars again

She closes her eyes (why)

Thinking about the children

My fate they’re gonna share

Work the days, abused at night

I wan’t, I wan’t my…

…Africa

I’m trapped in a house in a land without hope

There’s no way out of here

Endless crying and i raise my voice

Save the young ones sorrow and pain

Let them out, let them play

Let them out, let them play

She wanted to believe in the rumours

That reached the door

A village was built

For some 20 000 people

By slaves from Africa

If they only knew that her brother died

A day before the question

It wasn’t meant to be

No freedom, no runaway

No slave that she could follow

To the border of alagoas

The smell of death is here

A squalid, dreadful time

She closes her eyes (oh why)

Self destructive thinking

Her crave for lust is gone

Work the days, abused at night

I wan’t my…

…Africa

I’m trapped in a house in a land without hope

There’s no way out of here

Endless crying and i raise my voice

Save the young ones sorrow

Border of alagoas

Children without a childhood

No freedom, no games to play

Children of innocence

Let them out, let them play

Tonight she’s left alone

Healing her scars again

She closes her eyes (oh why)

Self destructive thinking

Her crave for lust is gone

Work the days, abused at night

Africa

I’m trapped in a house in a land without hope

There’s no way out of here

Endless crying and i raise my voice

Save the young ones sorrow

In a land without hope

There’s no way out of here

Endless crying and i raise my voice

Save the young ones sorrow and pain
