[Intro, orchestral chaos, pounding percussion, choir accents] Sirens tearing through the night iron gates swing wide shouting guards and running prisoners crashing side by side Gunfire splits the darkness searchlights scour the ground hundreds surge toward the forest hope the only sound [Verse, tremolo strings, driving guitars, female vocal] Smoke and shouting everywhere boots strike dirt and stone every step a desperate prayer to reach the trees alone The forest rises in the distance black against the sky but every yard is hunted every breath a lie [Chorus, symphonic metal surge] Run for the forest run through the fire run past the towers run past the wire Every heartbeat pounding louder every breath a cry run for the forest before we die [Verse 2] Prisoners scatter through the fences some fall where they stand others race toward the darkness across the open land Bullets rip the air behind us sirens scream again freedom waits beyond the trees but none know who will win [Chorus] Run for the forest run through the flame leave the burning barracks leave the guards behind Run through the gunfire run through the fear run for the forest freedom waits here [Bridge, orchestral tension] But in the smoke beside me a wounded figure runs blood across his shoulder beneath the searchlight suns [Final Chorus] Run for the forest run while we can run through the darkness far from this land The trees are calling forward the night begins to fall run for the forest or never run at all
