Chained Below Songtext
von Ye Banished Privateers

(We′re running out of air)
Hold close your sons and daughters
Hold all your loved ones near
We're chained below the water
Towards our grave we steer
Who knows if we cross over?
What shall befall us there?
We′re drowning here in nowhere
We're running out of air

Tall and free we walked the earth
Our land was grand untouched by man
The mountains gave to the river birth
Veins through soil and dirt

But strife and conflict would grow
Rich soil turned friend into foe
To war, we fought and lost
Now fate and souls lie shackled down below


Hold close your sons and daughters
Hold all your loved ones near
We're chained below the water
Towards our grave we steer
Who knows if we cross over?
What shall befall us there?
We′re drowning here in nowhere
We′re running out of air

Neck to neck our fates entwined
By heavy chains that drag us down
Broken souls in a floating fold
There's no way out of this damp dark hold

Our children born to slavery
Unfree with their first breath will be
You stole our history, our names, our future
Can′t you see?

Hold close your sons and daughters
Hold all your loved ones near
We're chained below the water
Towards our grave we steer
Who knows if we cross over?
What shall befall us there?
We′re drowning here in nowhere
We're running out of air


Hold close your sons and daughters
Hold all your loved ones near
We′re chained below the water
Towards our grave we steer
Who knows if we cross over?
What shall befall us there?
We're drowning here in nowhere
We're running out of... air!

Hold close your sons and daughters
Hold all your loved ones near
We′re chained below the water
Towards our grave we steer
Who knows if we cross over?
What shall befall us there?
We′re drowning here in nowhere
We're running out of air
