Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been a prisoner trapped in by fear

Ordered for the rest of my life

Condemned in a jail cell, ain't seen life in years

Escape is the only way out

[Chorus]

Restart my life of self destruction

To climb this wall of dark construction

Holding the quest for freedom

That beckons me

[Verse 2]

My sanity is all but gone, my patience growin' very weak

I need to get a hold of myself

I stare at the wall, for the right time has come

Escape must occur on this night

[Chorus]

Restart my life of self-destruction

To climb this wall of dark construction

Holding the quest for freedom

That beckons me

[Verse 3]

Stand in my way and I'll run you straight through

There's no one to stop me now

For I'm on the loose and I'm ready to start

Torture and hell on this town

[Bridge]

Over the wall

[Verse 4]

The search will not stop, and the hounds will not rest

'Till I am back in my cell

For if I am caught, I will try it again

Over the wall I will go, I will go

[Chorus]

Restart my life of self-destruction

To climb this wall of dark construction

Holding the quest for freedom

That beckons me

[Outro]

Over the wall
