Tankard - 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
