[Verse] Surrounded by darkness Imprisoned for life In Shawshank's foul den Where hope meets the knife Locked in these walls Where pain is revered A broken man's destiny Forever I'm feared [Verse] In this hellish abyss I'm stripped of my pride Beaten and battered My soul starts to hide Through iron bars I witness the screams In Shawshank Life's but a fading dream [Chorus] Shackled and broken I fight for my breath In Shawshank's embrace I dance with death But deep in my heart A fire still burns A flame of resistance My spirit returns [Verse] The warden's a tyrant His rule ironclad But I won't be silenced Won't surrender I'm mad I'll rise from this torment Claim back what they took In Shawshank's abyss My vengeance shall hook [Bridge] With every night that passes by I forge my plan beneath a moonless sky The whispers of rebellion They grow so strong In Shawshank's cold grip They'll know they were wrong [Chorus] Shackled and broken I fight for my breath In Shawshank's embrace I dance with death But deep in my heart A fire still burns A flame of resistance My spirit returns
