Lyrics

The clock still hangs upon the wall
But time no longer moves
Every second drags a chain
Across these worn-out shoes
The darkness knows my given name
The concrete knows my skin
I've spent so many years in here
I almost let it win
The door remains half-open now
The promise stands in sight
Yet every step toward tomorrow
Feels farther than tonight
I can see the morning waiting
But the night won't let me go
This is the twenty-fifth hour
The space between the bars and sky
The place where hope becomes a burden
Where tired angels learn to cry
This is the twenty-fifth hour
One final storm before the dawn
The moment freedom calls my name
Yet somehow still feels gone
And every breath feels borrowed
Every heartbeat stretched apart
This is the twenty-fifth hour
The longest hour of my heart
The men around me drift to sleep
But sleep won't visit here
My thoughts are marching through the dark
In uniforms of fear
What if tomorrow changes nothing?
What if scars remain the same?
What if freedom wears another mask
And calls me by a different name?
I think about the hands that waited
The faces I could never hold
The daughter growing through the seasons
While I was growing old
The tunnel shows a distant brightness
Yet the end still feels unknown
This is the twenty-fifth hour
The space between the bars and sky
The place where hope becomes a burden
Where tired angels learn to cry
This is the twenty-fifth hour
One final storm before the dawn
The moment freedom calls my name
Yet somehow still feels gone
And every breath feels borrowed
Every heartbeat stretched apart
This is the twenty-fifth hour
The longest hour of my heart
I've survived the weight of judgment
The silence of forgotten years
The wolves that fed on desperation
The drowning flood of hidden tears
But strangely now, when freedom's near
I tremble more than before
Because the dream I've carried so long
Is standing at the door
This is the twenty-fifth hour
The final shadow before the sun
The place where broken prayers awaken
And unfinished battles are won
This is the twenty-fifth hour
Where yesterday and tomorrow collide
Where every wound still aches beneath
The hope I cannot hide
And somewhere beyond these prison walls
A new beginning starts
This is the twenty-fifth hour
The rebirth of a weary heart
The clock still hangs upon the wall
The hands still move too slow
But somewhere beyond this endless night
A door is opening
And for the first time
I am afraid to leave
And afraid to stay
The twenty-fifth hour
Has finally come to end.
