[Intro, low strings, distant gunfire, male vocal begins quietly] Smoke in the air sirens behind shadows of prisoners running through fire I see you stumbling blood in your hair I never thought I would find you here [Verse 1, tense orchestral pulse] Leah look at me don't say a word I know the fear I know you've heard The forest waits beyond the wire but guards are closing through the fire [Chorus] Run to the forest don't look behind freedom is waiting through the night Every second more guards come if you stay here we both are done [Verse 2, heavier guitars enter] This wound is nothing I've had worse but I can see it in your eyes The minefield waits beyond the fence and soldiers gathering to commence [Chorus] Run to the forest don't turn back the trees are closer past the track You've survived too much to fall tonight you must live beyond this fight [Bridge, quiet moment] Do you remember the barracks night When I whispered step soft step slow Those words were never meant for fear they were meant to get you here [Breakdown, orchestral tension rising] Someone must hold them someone must stay someone must break their line this way The gate controls the road they take blow it apart the path will break [Final Verse, building intensity] I see the charges stacked nearby fuel and powder set to fly One spark is all this gate will need to give the forest time and speed [Final Chorus, desperate] Run to the forest run through the night don't let this moment lose its light If love means anything you must go step soft step slow [Outro, quiet] I hear you crying but you must run The path is open when this is done
