Feeling your strength and breathing today despite being lost
In a cell you’re locked away, prisoner until you're dead
Proud, wide eyed
The fear in breast
Wild-looking man
Walking about
Waiting about the grave
Whatever happens there's no way out
Feeling your strength and walking today you're convicted to live in dread
Proud, wide eyed
The angst in chest
Inexorably hours flow, you live on borrowed time
Often you thought to jump the gun but end is now in sight
Feeling your strength when waking today, despite being lost
No chance to make your getaway, slave under sentence of death
It’s haunting you, paralysing your head,
You withdraw into yourself like an animal in pain,
It’s coming up on and on freezing blood in your veins,
The fear of dying
You can’t get it out of your mind, completely possessed
It’s cropping up on and on, you’re dreadfully obsessed
About the time to light your last cigarette
About fear of death
