One dark night on the ship amistad
A sudden strike from the shadows aboard
Rage like wildfire on the sea
For the taste of freedom the blood runs red

The deck is stained with fire and blood
Mutiny the only way
With saber and gun they try to defend
The fist of slave raised high

Amistad rebellion, fight to be free again
Gone is the fear now, breaking the chains with the might of a lion
Amistad rebellion, fight to be free again
Once and for all now, ready to die for the end of oppression

The faces of soldiers in panic and fear
The slaves have taken the ship in their hands
The cages are broken and no more chains
Now riding the waves with their face in the wind
