Lyrics
Prisoner A revelation slips before my eyes I’ve sat here long enough to realize Climbing that ladder Only shortens my sentence So why am I serving time? This wasn’t part of my design. Prisoner, Prisoner Prisoner, Prisoner Bend these bars And break these walls You’re free to go now Let it be known In spite of what you sold Don’t let this cell become your home It’s casual dress today No necktie, no noose To hang my peace of mind If only for display The most stylish of slaves Hold your breath as we’re pulled under This unforgiving tide. If it’s the challenge that you crave, Don’t let these shark infested waters mark your grave.
