Death Penalty Lyrics

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
