People playing the drums Despite all the pain Free the spirits with music and flames The red takes control of it all In the darkness of their skins Now it's all new Black and red fill each other With the fire in your eyes The dope in your mind By now the hate can be forgotten The silent dance of the slaves Only bit of life The silent dance of the slaves By your master so repressed People playing the drums Despite all the pain Free the spirits with music and flames The red takes control of it all In the darkness of their skins Now it's all new Black and red fill each other With the fire in your eyes The dope in your mind By now the hate can be forgotten The silent dance of the slaves Only bit of life The silent dance of the slaves By your master so repressed The sun light starts to show In their faces you can see the cold One more day holding on But time has made them strong
