Can’t take me, or break me
Oh spirit of man…
Can’t bate me, or shake me
Oh spirit of man…

Oh Spirit Of Man

Verse 1

The Soldier

I am man; hear me roar
With origins no one got a theory for
Came from this; came from that
But it don’t matter it’s the same impact
Metalworker from father to son
“The best swords come from the heart of a sun!”
Walk to the mountaintop with Peyote
Talk to the falcon watch the coyote
Forbid but I did it it’s a vision quest
I did it for the wisdom yes
I bask and live in mystical lands
At last I give in Physical cramps
War torn, poor pawn of…
Masters with invisible hands
They call me man and I’m easily led
I’ll probably be this way until I’m peacefully dead
Beyond the border
A Vikings death “put him on the water”
Gone to war but; didn’t learn from it at all
Need a stronger sword waiting for the right comet to fall
Indomitable, rebel coz I wanted to rule
The gods always honoured the cruel
Dishonourable, honourable comical phenomenal
I made the monocle so I could better read the chronicle
To weapon build atomical my anger is demonical
And when I go to war the body count is astronomical!


Chorus – Layer 1

Can’t take me, or break me
Oh spirit of man…
Can’t bate me, or shake me
Oh spirit of man…

Chorus – Layer 2

Can’t cage me, or take me
Or break me down
Oh spirit of man!

Repeat x 3

Never gonna cage me never gonna take me
Never gonna break me down
Spirit of man!

Verse 2 – Blake Selby – Lyrics unavailable

Verse 3

The Slave

The white man arrived to the land
In the night with a brand for your tribe it began
Fight if you can but you die in the sand
But the white man well he got ya life in his hand
And in his right hand is a sword
In his left is a whip goddamn this and more
Anyone that touches him well they get hanged it’s the law
Understand it if ya didn’t understand it before
The slave master shouts “someone canvas the shore
We need a 100 bodies for the Spanish at four!”
Put you in a boat manage the oars
Row till your hands are just raw
With no plan of support
They wont even bandage ya sores
Won’t allow you no language of course
A free talking slave that could damage the cause!
But in every man is a force
They can try but their never gonna banish the source!
That’s the reason your ancestors fought
That’s the reason your grandkids are taught
But the slave he refused to be cowed
Stood a little straighter when before he usually bowed!
Never gonna cage me never gonna take me
Never gonna break me down
Spirit of man!


Chorus – Layer 1

Can’t take me, or break me
Oh spirit of man…
Can’t bate me, or shake me
Oh spirit of man…

Chorus – Layer 2

Can’t cage me, or take me
Or break me down
Oh spirit of man!

Repeat x 3

Never gonna cage me never gonna take me
Never gonna break me down
Spirit of man!

"the offering of a rose basket I bear the widows cried

The coffin was a closed casket affair the lid closed tight

In every starving land there's a fat King

And every laughing man shares a sad grin"
