Parasite - Shark Island Lyrics

Living to die, they're bred in fear
No one to speak and no one hears
Brought to be starved, beaten and chained
Just walking skeletons in sight

Tried to rebel and they tried to flee
Forced into labour, no more mutiny
Held by their masters, dragged through the sand
Here come the natives of the land

Fight
With those hopeless means, its better if you turn away

Drink
From the poisoned wells, will only lead you to a slow end

Rest
On the vast sea of sand, seeing your children perish quick

Hate
From the 'greater' race, your remains are shipped away

Victims of mankind
Undying prejudice
Its a ruthless enemy

Sickening tales of greed
Blinded hate
Can't you see?

The homes are shattered in this burning heat
Crippling pride, its no mystery
Deprived of food, on waste they feed
With hollow hope they must survive

Exploited women, abused at will
Rampant disease, every soul is ill
Shark Island, come to face your destiny
Here curtains drop on every life

Run
Lothar's tight grip holds, no hesitation, shoot at sight

Death
Hear your death walk close, now only prayers in fear remain

Pain
Feel those teeth bite your flesh, then tear in to crush your bones

Herero
Who will hear your call? Even the desert wind is deaf

Victims of mankind
Undying prejudice
Its a ruthless enemy

Sickening tales of greed
Blinded hate
Can't you see?
