John: 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
Inmates: You're in the dead zone, you're utterly alone Get your allegiances sorted This is the end zone, no seed of hope are sewn Previous friendships aborted
Now you're inside boy, there's no way 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 you've been left to rot
You're in the death zone, Satan sits on the 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
