TranquilRadio - Behind These Bars Lyrics

Scum of the earth, predator in the dark
Thought he was slick, left a permanent mark
Victims crying, voices lost in the wind
Justice got a scent, and it started to spin

Detectives on the grind, digging through his grime
Each clue a nail in his slowly built shrine
Breathless on the run, but there's nowhere to hide
Iron bars clank, it's the end of his ride

Karma's knocking, ain't no escape
Paying dues behind steel drape
Sins catching up, he can't out ride
Behind these bars, nowhere to slide

Cold cell walls, his reality shift
Haunted by faces, no more grift
Justice served cold, no second chance
Predator trapped in his consequence dance

Whispers in the night, he hears the cries
Haunted by ghosts, no more disguise
Guilt heavy, sinking like a leaden boat
In a sea of memories, he continues to float

Karma's knocking, ain't no escape
Paying dues behind steel drape
Sins catching up, he can't outstride
Behind these bars, nowhere to slide

Chains clinking slow, his rhythm now broken
Shattered illusions, his deeds left unspoken
The mirror's his judge, his soul laid bare
A lifetime of shadows he can no longer repair

Each night's a trial, no jury, no plea
Confronted by faces he'll never unsee
The hunter now hunted by his own design
Time stretches endless, but he can't rewind

Karma's knocking, ain't no escape
Paying dues behind steel drape
Sins catching up, he can't outstride
Behind these bars, nowhere to slide

The echo of keys, the clang of the gate
A life reduced, but he sealed his own fate
No redemption, just the weight of his crime
Forever locked in the prison of time
