i still love all the idea's that the speaker is a black slave, but who is the godhead that laments in this song; surely not the speakers 'decrepid' maker mentioned in 'the moor', the speaker claims to be a godhead,'Blank godhead, tear my name' he uses the words my name not 'its name' the speaker believes himself to be a god, eloihim or 'mighty one', maybe even some kind of messiah. other than the 'decrepid' maker the only ones claiming to be gods in the bible are deamons.
