...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?
