This heart still has a steady pulse and these lungs, though numb, were never breathless. These eyes still show signs of life. Stick to the plan. Don't let your hands show any signs of weakness. For months you have planned, despite being damned to endure this treatment. A seed that was sewn has patiently grown, deep inside this prison. Its roots have dug deep, under cover they creep, until this tree has arisen. Its branches will reach out, with conviction, to seek out the flaws in these tall walls. These bars could never hold. I'll shatter this metal; break all the welds. You'll never take me alive. I'll never fall victim. I'll never give in to these demons. Call all your forces. Signal the troops. Sound the alarm. Battalions and galleons of soldiers and foes could never halt my escape. The world is an awful place, and nothing will be the same. When war is the answer, then whatever was the question wasn't worth it. The world is an awful place, and no one will be the same. When hatred consumes us, our children exhume us. We hope that they'll learn from our mistakes. I'm a fatal force to be reckoned with. A fury, a fire, burns within. Strap on your armor, lads, wrought heavy iron-clad. I'll put you in the ground. Ash to ash, dust to dust. The world is an awful place, and nothing will be the same. When war is the answer, then whatever was the question wasn't worth it. The world is an awful place, and no one will be the same. When hatred consumes us, our children entomb us in hopes that they'll quarantine our fate.
