Lyrics
[Verse 1] Cold concrete on my knees
They took my name gave me 37927 Walls are grey the sky is steel
No one here remembers how to feel
Little rock inside my hand
Something they will never understand
[Pre-Chorus] Years turn to stone
Men turn to ghosts
There is one thing
They can not hold
[Chorus] You can lock the sun away
You can bury me alive
I will be free some day
On the day that I decide
You can break all my bones
Steal every second of my time
Hope is a fire
That don't die
[Verse 2] Beer on the tar roof warm in the sun
For ten minutes we were all free men
Mozart flying through the barbed wire
No gun no guard could stop that fire
Most men get busy dying slow
One man already knows where to go
[Pre-Chorus] Years turn to stone
Men turn to ghosts
There is one thing
They can not hold
[Chorus] You can lock the sun away
You can bury me alive
I will be free some day
On the day that I decide
You can break all my bones
Steal every second of my time
Hope is a fire
That don't die
[Bridge] Five hundred yards of shit and rain
Came out clean on the other side
No judge no jury no more pain
Nothing left here to break or hide
Somewhere the ocean is blue and wide
Somewhere an old friend waits tonight
Get busy living. Or get busy dying.
[Guitar solo] [Chorus] You can lock the sun away
You can bury me alive
I will be free some day
On the day that I decide
You can break all my bones
Steal every second of my time
Hope is a fire
That don't die
[Outro] Hope is a good thing
Maybe the best of things
And no good thing
Ever dies
Ever dies
Ever dies
