Are We Not Men?

Are we not men?
Are we not men?
We have tongues but cannot speak
Our sightless eyes - they do not weep
Are we not men?
Are we not men?

Are we not men?
Are we not men?
We're not bound by iron chains
Yet we are slaves all the same
Are we not men?
Are we not men?

Our bodies ache; our limbs are sore
We work till we can work no more
Are we not men?
Are we not men?
Are we not men?
Are we not men?

Darkness brings sweet sleep to all
Save we, who do not sleep at all

They are not men; they are dead bodies
A living dead
