we dream of ways to break these iron bars
|
we dream of black nights without moon or stars
|
we dream of tunnels and of sleeping guards
|
we dream of blackouts in the prison yard
|
|
heartbroken, we found
|
(a gleam of hope)
|
harken to the sound,
|
(a whistle blows)
|
heaven sent reply,
|
(however small)
|
evidence of life
|
(beyond these walls)
|
born and bred
|
(in this machine)
|
wardens dread
|
(to see us dream)
|
we hold tight
|
(to legends of)
|
real life,
|
(the way it was before)
|
|
we dream of jailers throwing down their arms
|
we dream of open gates and no alarms
|
|
we dream of ways to break these iron bars
|
we dream of black nights without moon or stars
|

look to the day the earth will shake
|
these weathered walls will fall away
