Goodbye Master, Runnin'

I arrived out of the dark night Runnin', runnin' Runnin' for my life, I saw left I saw right I forgot what was right Then I decided to go left Going left was going deaf I lost my sense of hearing Runnin', runnin' I felt smooth tunes Coming from two rooms Moving along with the beat In my bones, in my skin In my groans, in my chin Loving the blazing heat Humming my hymns I lost all sense of feeling Runnin', runnin' A old man yelled, "What are you runnin' for?!" I couldn't hear him nor see him I could only keep moving forward I couldn't see a thing Runnin', runnin' I could taste a bitter bloody taste Along my tongue, it was the dark barrel The metal, of the gun I stopped runnin' The bullet knocked the taste out of my mouth Now I sit here, unable to speak Nothing to talk about Then I pick myself up No longer able to speak No longer able to see No longer able to feel No longer able to hear I suppose I could smell To make my way Made into a dog For masters play Like that dog On that same day I stopped the pause With my hate to wait How about then I just kept runnin' Slave
