Destined To Burn

You've been taken from all that you've ever known
There's no question, you're already on your own
What's going on here? What have we done?
Someting's wrong, this can't be right
Coffles and strangers pushing further
Beaten well into the night

We cannot alter or change
'Gainst our will held in chains
Difference in colour of skin is my sin
What gives them the right to take away
All I could've loved til my dying day?
Is this bridge really destined to burn?

Pale-skinned serpent, there's no conscience eating you
My sole purpose, what God has done onto you
What if the tables were reversed
With all your rights taken away
Suddenly perverse, it's a nightmare
No one's waking you today

We cannot alter or change
'Gainst our will held in chains
Difference in colour of skin is my sin
What gives them the right to take away
All I could've loved til my dying day?
Is this bridge really destined to burn?

Shrouded in fear, morales reversed now
Battered 'til the core to one's soul
Lighter a shade, you steal then you break
Even one's own faith

We cannot alter or change
'Gainst our will held in chains
Difference in colour of skin is my sin
What gives them the right to take away
All I could've loved til my dying day?
Is this bridge really destined to burn?
