lyrics

The sun sets in the morning hours
And rises in the evening
A prisoner within his cell
Well, he can’t understand this

Can’t get no sleep
No one’s talking
Chains and shackles
Bread and water

Alone within a darkened room
No windows and no daylight
The false dawn prisoner awaits
A fate yet undecided

Can’t get no sleep
No one’s talking
Chains and shackles
Bread and water

The false dawn prisoner awaits
A fate yet undecided
A fate yet undecided

The false dawn prisoner awaits
A fate yet undecided
A fate yet undecided
A fate yet undecided
A fate yet undecided
A fate yet undecided
A fate yet undecided
