Oh but that glaze of pain swepted upon the river of niles, I rise upon the black rivers, feeling the spirit of the almighty God, but that chain that wrapped upon my feet, and the blazing fire that stood before my dignity, but yet I stood tall as a man, Spoke as a man, Lead as a man, and the furnace that awaited my body, vanish into the air, Oh yea, Oh yea, who am I to cry, as they slayed my brother to the cross, who walked the mighty fire, and felt the pain of de' devel, I still walk tall as a man.
