Hear the tower siren wail

Put my feet over the rail

Knew we couldn't ever fail

Escapin' from this concrete jail

Got another dark tale to tell

We made the move when the last bell fell

Dug him up with a shank from the cell

Now we're sendin' the warden to hell

Twenty-five years, I was facin' the grey

Countin' the seconds of every long day

Listenin' close to what the old timers say

Plottin' the path, had to find me a way

They thought I was broken and left to decay

But I studied the guard and the games that he'd play

Knew all his habits and where the keys lay

Waited six months for the perfect display

Got the whole layout from a rat I had to pay

He snitched on the block, so his life is in delay

Saw the dead spot in the fence by the bay

Where the night vision's blind and the searchlights just stray

Carved out ashiv from a cold metal tray

Kept it real close, kept the demons at bay

Tonight is the night, there's a price we will pay

Never goin' back, no matter what they all say

Lights out, that's the final call

I see the long shadows crawl on the wall

One wrong move and we're gonna fall

Tonight we stand up and walk out here tall

Hear the tower siren wail

Put my feet over the rail

Knew we couldn't ever fail

Escapin' from this concrete jail

Got another dark tale to tell

We made the move when the last bell fell

Dug him up with a shank from the cell

Now we're sendin' the warden to hell

Over the wire, felt the razor wire tear

Ignorin' the pain, just breathin' cold air

A screw rushed the yard, we caught him in a snare

Left him right there with a dead, hollow stare

The dogs started barkin, I don't even care

The searchlight sweeps past, caught me right in the glare

Jumped from the roof, I ain't sayin' a prayer

Landed in mud, it's a savage affair

Splittin' up now, that's the oath that we share

Gotta vanish like smoke, gotta be well aware

They'll hunt us like dogs, man, this life isn't fair

But a cage ain't a life, it's a living nightmare

Sprinted through backwoods, thorns rippin' my hair

Every cracked twig is a brand new scare

But the taste of this freedom is brutally rare

This is the life that I chose, it's a burden to bear

Lights out, that's the final call

I see the long shadows crawl on the wall

One wrong move and we're gonna fall

Tonight we stand up and walk out here tall

Hear the tower siren wail

Put my feet over the rail

Knew we couldn't ever fail

Escapin' from this concrete jail

Got another dark tale to tell

We made the move when the last bell fell

Dug him up with a shank from the cell

Now we're sendin' the warden to hell

Now I'm a ghost, just a whisper of doubt

Livin' off-grid, got a different route

Can't trust a soul, gotta watch what comes out

One wrong look and the feds'll find out

My face on the news, hear the anchorman shout"Armed and he's dangerous" there's no way to pout

Sleep with one eye open, hear a pin-drop and scout

This freedom's a war, it's a paranoid drought

Traded steel bars for a world with no clout

Every cop car I see makes me want to lash out

Got no home, no fam, just this path I'm about

Thinkin' of my cellmate, he was stout

He didn't make it, took a slug to the snout

His face is the reason I'm ending this drought

I'll get my revenge, that's what this is about

From the inside out, I'm turnin' their world inside out

Lights out, that's the final call

I see the long shadows crawl on the wall

One wrong move and we're gonna fall

Tonight we stand up and walk out here tall

Hear the tower siren wail

Put my feet over the rail

Knew we couldn't ever fail

Escapin' from this concrete jail

Got another dark tale to tell

We made the move when the last bell fell

Dug him up with a shank from the cell

Now we're sendin' the warden to hell
