Time Served Lyrics - Who Are We Living For? - Dispatch

Hold up the firing line 

Hold up the firing 

Walk away counting backwards from nine 

Hold up the firing line 

Hold steady on the trigger's time 

Walk away counting backwards from nine 

Holdin' his breath so to start his own dying 

Time, time served 

To the one's that left you here 

No people here, only names 

Soon to be put to numbers so it's one and the same 

It's anyone's game as long as the fire flickers 

The throat stickers, they place their bet 

The trouble is that no one's added it up quite yet 

'Cause when they do, when they do 

When they do, when they do 

It'll be a riot and the wire is down 

Hold up for the fury to sound 

Hold up your head from the ground 

Or they'll keep you on it 

Your time, time served 

To the ones who left you here 

From tower to wall to guard to guard to wall 

Ever ready for the fire to fall 

The confines haven't seen the sun since 

The lifers let go of their irrelevant innocence 

But long before a single round was shot 

Word spread from block to block to cell block 

They're going to take him 

And make an example of him for the escapees to fear 

The incoming of the incoming of the gun 

Oncoming another year 

You either die on the inside or trying to get out 

The choice is yours, the choice is here 

Time served 

To the one's that left you here 

Time served 

To the one's that left you here
