Lyrics

[Refrain] An alchemy Human alchemy [Verse 1] We stole them from their Freedom to be sold To turn their skins of black Into the skins of brightest gold [Refrain] An alchemy Human alchemy [Verse 2] We stoked the fires of trade With human coals And made our purses From the flailed skins of purest souls [Refrain] An alchemy Human alchemy [Bridge] Other lands became a larder full of all the good things All we had to do was go and take Blood, the color of the rain that grew our wicked harvest Black, the color icing on our cake [Refrain] An alchemy Human alchemy [Bridge] Other lands became a larder full of all the good things All we had to do was go and take Blood, the color of the rain that grew our wicked harvest Black, the color icing on our cake [Verse 3] We stole their babes and mothers Chiefs and braves Although we held the whip You know we were the real slaves [Outro] To alchemy Human alchemy Alchemy Human alchemy An alchemy Human alchemy Alchemy Human alchemy Alchemy Human alchemy Human, human alchemy
