[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 or 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 is growing very weak

I need to get a hold of myself

I stare at the wall

For the right time to come

Escape must occur on this night


[Chorus]

Restart my life or 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

Go


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

Restart my life or self destruction

To climb this wall of dark construction

Holding the quest for freedom

That beckons me


[Outro]

Over the wall
