Take my love
Take my land
Take me where
I cannot stand
Take me out
To the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back

It begins very small
Seems like nothing much at all
Just a germ, just a speck, just a grain
But the seed has been sown
And before you know it's grown
It has spread through your life like a stain

Take my love
Take my land
Take me where
I cannot stand
Take me out
To the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back

Take my love
Take my land
Take me where
I cannot stand
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me

Take my love
Take my land
Take me where
I cannot stand
Take me out
To the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back

And its' power will strangle
Your love and joy
And it's hunger consumes for it lives to destroy
Hate is the star
It becomes who you are
Not a hated but the hater
Has a torment thas's greater
