Living in your cell, your sentence is death

The chair awaits, take your last breath

Locked away, for the crime you committed

Accused of murder, now you'll pay for it

Don't say you're innocent, after what you've done

Laughing at death isn't much fun

Blood on your hands is plain evidence

A look in your eyes, as if you're in trance


She said I haven't betrayed you, it's not what it seems to be

You lost your temper, killed without mercy

Too shocked to leave this bloody place

Handcuffed with a... a smile on your face


Say your last wish as time is running out

The man to redeem you from your sins

To console you and listen to your crying

A servant from God, a prayer for the dying

A prayer for the dying

A prayer for the dying


Living in your cell, your sentence is death

The chair awaits, take your last breath

Locked away, for the crime you committed

Accused of murder, now you'll pay for it

Don't say you're innocent, after what you've done

Laughing at death isn't much fun

Blood on your hands is plain evidence

A look in your eyes, as if you're in trance


The words are spoken, time to die

No fear in your eyes as you approach the chair

The handle is pulled, say goodbye

Seeing the preacher to whom you stare


My son, I hope you understand what I'm about to say

Your life is almost ended, so don't be afraid

The lord you're a good man, so have a little faith

Your soul will rest in heaven, where there is love and no hate


Say your last wish as time is running out

The man to redeem you from your sins

To console you and listen to your crying

A servant from God, a prayer for the dying

A prayer for the dying
