The Conspirators - 30 Years to life lyrics

[Introduction] So the story goes This is a tale that must be told For what could be your destiny You never know [Verse 1] I never meant to be here I never even tried But until you know When you're lost and down You come to trouble in time It was a cold December A rip city night In a steel toe rage Made a big mistake Now I'll be doing time [Pre-Chorus] I was running with the order I was running out of time Now for me there is no quarter I don't want to be here I don't want to die [Chorus] Serving 30 years to life What I did I can't deny Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade I remember it so well The night I sent that boy to Hell Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways [Verse 2] They sent me on a mission Out to earn my stripes Should have known damn well When the curb stomp fell Things would never be right [Pre-Chorus 2] I was running with the order I was running out of time Now for me there is no quarter I don't want to be here How many nights I've cried [Chorus] Serving 30 years to life What I did I can't deny Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade I remember it so well The night I sent that boy to Hell Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways [Chorus 2] ‘Cause now I know Now I know I was wrong and I can't let this go I know Now I know I am sorry What a wretched soul What a big mistake [Solo] [Verse 3] Now I'm growing old 18 years or more to go I waste way in this cage I'm all alone That's how the story goes This is a tale that must be told For what could be Your destiny You never know [Pre-Chorus 3] ‘Cause when you're running with the order You're only running out of time Now for me there is no quarter I didn't want to be here I don't want to die [Chorus 3] Serving 30 years to life What I did I can't deny Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade My regret I know it well But it's too late to save myself Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways [Outro] So the story goes This is a tale that must be told For the sorrow in my heart will never fade So the story goes This is a tale that must be told Yes I'm sorry for the error of my ways
