"The Great Escape"

Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
They built your cage before you could see,
Made you pray to them on bloodied knees
A new religion they forced you to believe
They locked you in your mind…
and threw away the key

[PRE-CHORUS]
Barbed wire lies and forgotten hopes
Just a puppet at the end of their rope
A little bird in a rusted cage
A little rat in an endless race
A little pawn in the system’s game…
You’re just a number without a name.

[CHORUS]
Wolves make laws for lambs in silence.
They clip your wings, call it compliance
The insane are running the asylum,
They feed you pills so you don’t get violent
So will you sit inside your cell
Waitin’ on Heaven, goin’ through Hell?
Doin’ life with a soul at stake
I think it’s time…
for a prison break

[VERSE 2]
Don’t let’em know that we’re passin’ notes
Quiet whisperers collecting votes
We’re tired of takin’ what we’ve been given
A coalition of the imprisoned
rising up defiantly…
And we’re not goin’ quietly

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
In a rigged game we’ve been losin’
There’s a quiet riot brewin’
We’re taking back control…
No they can’t stop us all

[CHORUS] (Bigger, louder, full-on riot mode.)
Wolves make laws for lambs in silence.
They clip your wings, call it compliance
The insane are running the asylum,
They never thought that we’d get violent

Rattle the bars of your prison cell
Grab the guards and give em hell
The jailor’s keys are our’s to take
I think it’s time…
for a prison break

[BRIDGE]
Sentenced to death,
before we were born…
Shackled and chained,
to an infinite war…
Now we’re rising up
To what’s worth fighting for
Their time is done…
And we won’t take it… anymore


[CHORUS]
Wolves make laws for lambs in silence.
They clip your wings, call it compliance
The insane are running the asylum,
They never thought that we’d get violent

Rattle the bars of your rusted cage
Fight like hell to break those chains
Tonight we make our great escape…
So tell me…
isn’t it time…
for a prison break
