Looking back on a past when we still had a chance
We were pawns in a game that we could not win
Now we're alone, just a pick and stone
We're dreaming of a future when our ship comes inDreaming of a future when our ship comes inHey, ho
A prisoner's song
Pawns in a game that we could not win
Hey, ho
A prisoner's song
Dreaming of a future, when our ships comes in
A prisoner to my thoughts a number and a cell
Locked up like a dog in this worldly hell
Marching along, another man on the gang
I'm shackled and sentenced to the ball and chainShackled and sentenced to the ball and chainHey, ho
A prisoner's song
Marching along, another man on the gang
Hey, ho
A prisoner's song
Shackled and sentenced to the ball and chain
We count the days and nights
We're paying with our lives
We're paying for our wrongs
Singing a prisoner's song
Singing a prisoner's song
Looking back on a past when we still had a chance
We were pawns in a game that we could not win
Now we're alone, just a pick and stone
We're dreaming of a future when our ship comes in
Dreaming of a future when our ship comes in
