High Treason

Locked up by the day
You've escaped through the night
Come morning you'll be gone
The guards are far behind
To betray them is a crime
When you're caught
You'll be hung

You'd better run
You'd better run for your life
Take my word if you want to survive
The guards are close

And you are lost to the night
Death is closing in on you tonight!

High Treason (High Treason)!
Traitor to the world
You can't stop them
Keep on running
Away

Cornered by the lights
Keeping out of sight
I'm running away from your
Can you hear the mobs
You're being hunted like a fox
They'll watch you die
They'll watch you burn!

You've gotta get out
You've gotta get out of this town
You have no chance
They'll run you down

The end is here and life is running short
They got you cornered, you've been caught!

High Treason (High Treason)!
Traitor to the world
You can't stop them
Keep on running
Away

I remember how it used to be
Children played
The people were free
I don't know
How did it all start?
They brought terror
They captured our thoughts
Yeah!

No! They got me, they whip me
They dragged me through the grounds
The women, the children
There's women and children screaming
To the rope overhead
I'm fastened to the stone
No regrets, no defense, I fall
