The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
prisoner of the system
witness of a rising fear
I feel it's like a fast moving train
passing us so near
something's working hard to change the rule
something's trying hard to kill the fool
Bridge: in this wasteland
walking on a desert plain
in this wasteland
aiming for a goal without end
Chorus: Living for another day
emerging for the mist
hoping for another day
I'm fighting to exist... to exist...
prisoner of illusion
I am victim of this trail
I am yielding to temptation
is it heaven or is it hell?
is this a destination where I can go?
I was skilled by imagination
I'm beyond recall
Bridge...
Chorus...
living for another day, emerging from the mist
Ohh... it's a fight to exist...
living for another, emerging from the mist
Ohh... it's a fight to exist...
prisoner of the system...
