Verse 2
I've spent my life behind these steel bars,
I've paid my debt in time.
But being brought to justice,
That was my only crime.
I don't regret a single action,
I'd do the same again.
These prison walls secure me,
And I'm numb to pain.

Chorus

Interlude

Verse 3
Before you hand me over,
Before you read my sentence,
I'd like to say a few words
Here in my own defense.
Some people struggle daily,
They struggle with their conscience 'til the end.
I have no guilt to haunt me;
I feel no wrong intent.

Chorus
Ad lib to finish
