Lyric The trial
...as demanded by the prosecuting attorney the jury find him guilty and
subsequently he is sentenced to death. His bitter ordeal begins...
He says, I pulled the trigger, fearless and cool
A murderer with intention, hardened like old school
A cold-blooded man, holding up a store
A calculated plan, to enforce what he s heading for
Once I learned eye for eye , now I get pain for pain
He wants me to die, I talk bout the D. A.
He s counting life for life , he s showing up my way
He says, there s a lot thats due -
There are three ways to pay:
For the bereaved we ve got to dare
Electric chair, death can be fair
The draft of death gas chamber s breath
Leads him to death, lock up the door!
A lethal dose, a gift from God
Puts him to sleep, smoothe like a dog
The draft of death, gas chamber s breath
Leads him to death, lock up the door!
I m facing judge and jury, the victim s families
The actors of this play, of this criminal case
The jury listen to, the words of the D. A.
If they follow his request, I will be erased:
We ve got to free the world
From the burdon of this beast
With his loss of life, other people will find peace
The punishment is fair, his guilt can t be denied
The rules should be clear right now,
There are three ways to die:
For the bereaved, we ve got to dare
Electric chair, death can be fair
The draft of death, gas chamber s breath
Leads him to death, lock up the door!
A lethal dose, a gift from God
Puts him to sleep, smoothe like a dog
The draft of death, gas chamber s breath
Leads him to death, lock up the door!
I ve heard their words, I ve heard them all
Can t believe they re talking about me
They made my hope rise and fall
Now a real way out I cannot see
All these feelings come down on me
I ve lost the gleam of hope, is this reality?
It might come back again...
I loved my life, they proved me wrong,
I ve buried dreams, I ve buried plans
Maybe they re right, what have I done?
I killed two people, here I am
All these feelings come down on me
I ve lost the gleam of hope, is this reality?
Will it come back again?
