Sentenced to Life
by Reclaim the Day

Album: Sentenced to Life - Single

Verse 1
I lose a little sleep
every night
Trying to escape
afraid of what I'll find
deep inside
the nightmare always stays
memories that I keep
hold me tight
reflections of the past
Illusions in my mind
come to life
Every time I fall into the black

Pre-Chorus 1
Trying - to close my eyes
To the things I see
With these chains on me
(ooh's)
Throwing myself on trial
The jury screams
While the gavel swings

Chorus
I used to walk among the innocent (ah's)
I used to live inside the safety of your light
All I want is to be free again (ah's)
The way it was before the shadows stalked my night
Can you save me from this prison where I'm sentenced to life?

Verse 2 (Big Groove)
These demons haunt me
As I live and breathe
I'm searching for a life
Where there is peace
I have to break this cycle
I've had enough
As God as my witness
I will not give up

Pre-Chorus 2
(searching)
Desperate - for light like this, but
I get so lost
in my own abyss

Chorus

Bridge
In the light there is victory
They no longer have a hold on me

End Chorus
And I will walk among the innocent
Your truth has saved me from the Fortress of these lies
Now I know that I am free again
I'm not condemned to be a prisoner inside

Cuz You paid the final price of pain so I could survive
And You saved me from this prison so I'm destined to be alive
