[Verse 1]
Once bound by chains, now bound by fate
A soul trapped deep, behind state gates
A prisoner in more than just a cell
Victim of a system, under its spell
[Pre-Chorus]
Dreams of freedom, fade into black
Tattooed in scars, no turning back
Waiting for the day that never comes
Silent tears fall, breaking the numb
[Chorus]
Sentenced to die, in this hollow place
Lost in the dark, unseen face
Doomed to silence, cursed inside
Longing for redemption, but denied
[Verse 2]
Echoes of the past, haunt these halls
Memories of innocence, it all falls
Hanging in the balance, hope and despair
A broken dream, too heavy to bear
[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes of a life that once was free
Now just shadows, haunting me
Praying for a dawn, endless night
Fading into endless night...
[Chorus]
Sentenced to die, in this hollow place
Lost in the dark, unseen face
Doomed to silence, cursed inside
Longing for redemption, but denied
[Bridge]
[words are spoken in whispers]
If only time could turn back the hours
Unchain the soul, lift these towers
But now I wait for the final breath
A silent witness to my death
[Outro]
Breathe no more in this cold cell
A story of sorrow only time can tell
Forever lost, forever gone
Silent prisoner, carrying on...
