Lyrics:
I’m sleeping in the dirt tonight and I’m hurting all over now,
blood smeared all over my shirt, and I know that I’m going down.
As I’m pushed, I know I’m dead soon, I’ll never be set free.
Theyre going down and taking me with them, as the red is all I see.
Because I’m a prisonor,
not to myself anymore,
they cover me in my own blood,
this time is worse than before.
My bones feel crushed, just like my hopes, as the interrogations begin.
The sweat’s dripping off my face, but I won’t tell them anything.
The signs all point to me they say, they think I hold information.
I gotta tell them I’m innocent, for the sake of me and their nation.
Because I’m a prisonor…
Now I’m caught in the crossfire,
and there are enemies about.
Now I’m caught in the crossfire,
and theres no way out.
Because I’m a prisonor,
not to myself anymore,
they cover me in my own blood,
this time is worse than before.
This time is worse than before.
This time is worse than before.
