Verlon Gates hjälpte ju till med texten till Run Until They Catch You som nån kanske kommer ihåg.
Den här gången är texten 100% hans och första gången jag såg den kände jag direkt att den här bara måste jag skriva musiken till och så här blev det.

The Prison (The Denial Of Death)
VERSE 1.
Desperate fear is a prison. And false hope is a cage.
Fearfully we look away from death at every age.
Hard to tell the difference between desperate fear and rage.
With so many frightened actors on a slowly spinning stage.
CHORUS:
Stone walls do not a prison make. Nor iron bars a cage.
Time is the only prison from which we can’t escape.
Shackles of the inevitable. Chains we cannot see.
The hands of time – the end of life, - relentless certainty.
VERSE 2.
Denial is our sanctuary from death and fear and time.
We seldom recognize the trap, this irony sublime.
Fear entombs the souls of men. Eternity’s a game.
But in spite of all our fearful struggles, life ends just the same.
CHORUS:
Stone walls do not a prison make Nor iron bars a cage.
Death is the only boundary whose bonds we cannot break.
Shackles of the inevitable...... chains we cannot see.
The hands of time – the end of life, - relentless certainty.
BRIDGE:
The denial of death. The death of denial.
Consumed by fear, no lawyer for the trial.
Trapped inside our fear of life. Consumed by fear of death.
Detained inside a life that always finds that final breath.
VERSE 3.
You know the moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on.
We fear the great inevitable when life is finally gone.
Fear of death is a prison, and false hope is a cage.
Death will be the final act and all the world’s a stage.
CHORUS:
Stone walls do not a prison make Nor iron bars a cage.
Time is the only prison from which we can’t escape.
Shackles of the inevitable Chains we cannot see.
The hands of time – the end of life, - relentless certainty.
