Lyrics
He woke up to a sentence on his life
Ball and chain cuts his ankles like a knife
All those years have come and gone away
With nothing good to say
Can you hear the voices in his head
Can you hear the wishes of the dead
They are telling him it's time to run
And burn into the sun
CH
Show is over
Fade to black
Close the curtains
Can't get that monkey off his back
He is burning, burning at the core
Feet are frozen, frozen to the floor
Dogs are hungry, growling at the gate
Behind them lays the bait
Should he take it, let them tear his flesh
What's to lose when there is nothing left
Any faith they had in him is gone
Their lives will carry on
CH
Bridge
That is no way to live
