Warrior in Chains

You
only know my race
don't even speak my name
when you feed me crumbs from your plate

I
am a warrior in chains
from a long-forgotten place
but I'm not defeated yet

And I can see the hatred in your eyes
feel the sting of the whip as it splits my side
yes, I understand you don't love me
you don't love me

Space
is not so far away
is close enough to taste
from the window in my cell

I
am a warrior in chains
lived to fight another day
and I'm not defeated yet

And I can see the coming of the swarm:
feel the gathering break its way through dawn
how I wish I could be there with them
be there with them

Beast
is this what I am?
second class of man
was I born this way?

I
am a warrior in chains
you can't take that away
no, I'm not defeated yet

I
am a warrior in chains
from a long-forgotten place
and I'm not defeated yet

​I'm not defeated yet
