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
