Clotilda's On Fire

She's comin' for you
 Hear the chains rattle
 Turn you into a slave
 Another piece of chattel
 Across the seas
 Stormy waters
 Showed no mercy
 She was Satan's daughter
 Born to steal
 With bodies to sell
 She had her own special
 Place in hell
 Clotilda's on fire
 Off the Alabama coast
 Clotilda's on fire
 We're still livin' with her ghost
 She took souls
 On a horrible trip
 Her morning song
 Was the crack of a whip
 Ones who survived
 Died a long time ago
 Most of them buried
 Out at old plateau
 But the pain and the memory
 Will never go away
 Her spirits still lives
 By the shores of the bay
 Clotilda's on fire
 Off the Alabama coast
 Clotilda's on fire
 We're still livin' with her ghost
 She was a dirty secret
 Forgot, but not forgiven
 But the shame was so great
 She could not stay hidden
 She's on fire
 Her flame no longer lights up at night
 Now dreams survive and hope burns bright
 People still come from miles around
 To praise the folks of Africa town
 Who rose from the ashes of sad history
 To stand unchained proud and free
 Clotilda's on fire
 Off the Alabama coast
 Clotilda's on fire
 We're still livin' with her ghost
 Clotilda's on fire
 Off the Alabama coast
 Clotilda's on fire
 We're still livin'
 We're still livin'
 With her ghost
