Dead Zone

Help me please. I'm on my knees. I'm dying by degrees
Too much pain. I'll go insane. I want my chance again.

I have to go on
Screw up my courage and hold on
To my belief.

I have a future
I have a wife and i love her
She shares my grief.

Prison will not break my heart
I'll stand apart from this
I'll remember that i'm loved
I won't be shoved into that dark abyss.

You're in the dead zone. You're utterly alone
Get your allegiances sorted
This is the end zone. No seeds of hope are sewn
Previous friendships aborted
Now that you're inside boy. There's nowhere to hide boy
You could hang yourself, we can find a rope
Inside the gate love will turn to hate
You will weep. While you sleep. Then you'll learn to cope
But without hope
We are your friends and we're all convicted men
Think you can stand apart? Think again
We're all you've got, now that you've been left to rot.

You're in the death zone. Satan sits on his throne
Even the strongest are frightened
This is the dark zone. We see in monochrome
Nothing is good or enlightened
Happiness is ended. All hope is suspended
We are the damned, we are all despised
But this prison has a key. And it's loyalty
You can trust all of us, when they beat you down we'll be around
It's all too late, you are looking at your fate
This is the place you learn to hate
Hate to survive. If you hate you'll stay alive.

Anger is learned when free men are interned
It isn't a choice or decision
You started to hate when you walked through the gate
From the moment you entered this prison
It's a pitiful sight, men deprived of their rights
You must maintain your rage and your fury
Revenge is your aim you must murder and maim
Be your enemy's judge and his jury.

You're in the death zone. Satan sits on the throne
Even the strongest are frightened
Line up you bastards!
