Born in the age of control Chain round our neck is tight Freedom expired long ago Left to wonder if all is lost I keep trying to find a way out of this hole Where I have been forced to live since I was born So I am breaking my head my nails my bones To open a crack between the stones but Hope's turning astray within a wall so tall And time's ticking away breaking a will once strong Hope's turning astray within a wall so tall When time's ticking away breaking a will once strong In a world that's turned so wrong Who's gonna show us to our graves No tomorrow in sight Turning us into their slaves They've decided what future holds I keep trying to find a way out of this hole Where I have been forced to live since I was born So I am breaking my head my nails my bones To open a crack between the stones but Hope's turning astray within a wall so tall And time's ticking away breaking a will once strong Hope's turning astray within a wall so tall When time's ticking away breaking a will once strong In a world that's turned so wrong Now I know, I know, I have been waiting for so long For one more chance to slip away from here All this time it seems I have been suffering And my time is drawing near I'm getting closer to the end Hope is now turning astray within the stones of this cold wall And time just ticks and ticks away the things I thought I could hold on Now all my dreams are fading When my last hope is now turning astray Within the stones of this cold wall And time just ticks and ticks away the things I thought I could hold on But I'm just tired of holding on I'm so tired of holding on
