The European taste for sugar cane   Tobacco in thick   Precious leafy fronds   Amenities not found in colder climates   Are sought      Above the steaming jungle   Lies snowy heights of honor   Foundations of empire are laid   On sweating backs of nigger slaves      To alien invaders flesh was made   An offering for economic gain   Lives traded for tusks of ivory   Are sought      Above the steaming jungle   Lies snowy heights of honor   Foundations of empire are laid   On sweating backs of nigger slaves      Superior beings compelled   Into the dark enclave   Drum beats along the congo   Forewarn of raids into   The primal Eden of the low      From darkened children   Priceless gold was had   Diamonds mined by captives   Built a throne   Enflared nostrils breathed   The jungle air   But not for long      Above the steaming jungle   Lies snowy heights of honor   Foundations of empire are laid   On sweating backs of nigger slaves   Compelled into the dark enclave      From their labors gold was had   Diamonds fed the empires thrones      Rampant prognathism   Reduced cranial girth   Dark children led away   Evidence of the rape   In chains      The cargo lies in chains   Aboard merchant ships   Anchored at the coast   Await the sign to sail   For the white empire
