The Last Castle Page #10

Synopsis: When three star General Irwin is transferred to a maximum security military prison, its warden, Colonel Winter, can't hide his admiration towards the highly decorated and experienced soldier. Irwin has been stripped of his rank for disobedience in a mission, but not of fame. Colonel Winter, who runs the prison with an iron fist, deeply admires the General, but works with completely different methods in order to keep up discipline. After a short while, Irwin can feel Winter's unjust treatment of the inmates. He decides to teach Winter a lesson by taking over command of the facility and thus depriving him of his smug attitude. When Winter decides to participate in what he still thinks of as a game, it may already be too late to win.

I'll have a place of my own

But I'll never be free

till it's chiseled in stone

On the final day

when the whistle blows

I can rest my body

I can rest my soul

I built my castle

in the promised land

It's made of rocks and stone

and like the shifting sands

When they mention my name

after I'm long gone

Well, they'll know I'm free

'cause it's chiseled in stone

Chiseled in stone
