LYRICS:
Locked up by the day,
you've escaped through the night,
Come morning you'll be gone.
The guards are far behind,
to betray them is a crime,
When you're caught,
you'll be hung.
You'd better run,
You'd better run for your life.
Take my word if you want to survive.
The guards are close
and you are lost to the night.
Death is closing in on you tonight!

High Treason (High Treason)!
Traitor to the world.
You can't stop them,
Keep on running away.

Cornered by the lights,
keeping out of sight,
I'm running away from your.
Can you hear the mobs,
you're being hunted like a fox,
They'll watch you die,
they'll watch you burn!
You've gotta get out.
You've gotta get out of this town.
You have no chance,
they'll run you down.
The end is here and life is running short.
They got you cornered, you've been caught!

High Treason (High Treason)!
Traitor to the world.
You can't stop them,
Keep on running away.

I remember how it used to be.
Children played,
the people were free.
I don't know how did it all start?
They brought terror,
they captured our thoughts.
Yeah!

No! They got me, they whip me.
They dragged me through the grounds.
The women, the children,
there's women and children screaming.
To the rope overhead
I'm fastened to the stone.
No regrets, no defense, I fall.
