Price of a Soul

**Verse 1:** In the fields where the sun burns bright, I toil from dawn to the dead of night, The chains they bind, my spirit tight, With every lash, I lose my sight. **Chorus:** Cruel, cruel whip, it cracks again, Oh, how it cuts through the heart of a man, (Oh oh oh) If their God's real, he ain't not mine (no not mine), For there's no mercy, just pain and time (pain and time). **Verse 2:** They sold my wife, they sold my sons, Tore apart what love had spun, In the darkness, I can only run, From a life where hope is none. **Chorus:** Cruel, cruel whip, it cracks again, Oh, how it cuts through the heart of a man (heart of a man), If their God's real, he ain't not mine (oh no not mine), For there's no mercy, just pain and time (hmm pain and time). **Bridge:** In the still of night, I hear the moans, Of brothers and sisters, skin and bones, But deep inside, my spirit roams, For there's no price on the soul of a man. (No no no price on the soul of a man) **Verse 3:** The day will come when chains will fall, And freedom's song will echo tall, We'll rise above, despite it all, For in our hearts, we hear the call. **Chorus:** Cruel, cruel whip, it cracks again, Oh, how it cuts through the heart of a man (hmm hmm oooh), If their God's real, he ain't not mine (oh it ain’t mine), For there's no mercy, just pain and time (Oh pain and time). **Outro:** Oh, there's no price on the soul of a man (no no price), No chains can hold, no cruel command (no price on the soul of a man), We'll stand as one, reclaim our land (yeah our land), For freedom's light is close at hand. (There ain’t no price on the soul of a man)
