death penalty

Tankard

Democratic nations continue executing muredreres
Innocents youths and victims of racist justice
The death penalty doesn t deter
Doesn t satisfy, doesn t add up - all is does is kill

I feel the noose get tight
Feel the injection needle
The gas is choking me
O god, my flesh is burning

I m alone in a cell, doctor checked, I m alive and well
Got a lunch a la carte, cos tonight I m going to hell

Four long years they ve been killing me
Every day hope and desperation
Will it be today? Did I get a stay?
I m guilty... does it help to pray... no, no, I m innocent

Death penalty
On death row, I m death but still alive
Death penalty
What is it like, when every day s your last?
Manis, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired
Prison personel always wear a smile

Priest tells me Son, this is a best way
If God s love then why crucify?
Blinded by the flesh of the media
A final portrait of the beast before the slaughter s one

Death penalty
On death row, I m death but still alive
Death penalty
What is it like, when every day s your last?
Manis, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired
Prison personel always wear a smile

Shaven clean, electrodes sucked tight
Want to scream, but I m paralyzed
Electricity tearing through my veins
The path is ripping me apart, but I m not dead just yet

Death penalty
On death row, I m death but still alive
Death penalty
What is it like, when every day s your last?
Manis, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired
Prison personel always wear a smile

Death penalty
On death row, I m death but still alive
You don t now what is like, when every day s death penalty
