lyrics

hold up the firing line hold up the fire
walk away counting backwards from nine
hold up the firing line hold steady on the trigger's time
walk away counting backwards from nine
holding his breath so to start his own dying

time time served to the ones that left you here

no people here only names soon to be put to numbers so its one in the same
it's anyone's game as long as the fire flickers
the throat stickers they place their bet the trouble is that no one's added it up quite yet
cause when they do when they do when they do when they do
it'll be a riot and the wire is down
hold up for the fury to sound hold up your head from the ground
or they'll keep you on it

your time time served to the ones who left you here

from tower to wall to guard to guard to wall
ever ready for the fire to fall
the confinees haven't seen the sun since the lifers let go of their irrelevant innocence
but long before a single round was shot word spread from block to block to cell block
they're going to take him and make an example of him for the escapees to fear
the incoming of the incoming of the gun oncoming another year
you either die on the inside or trying to get out the choice is yours the choice is here

time served to the ones who left you here
