Warhead - HOUR OF DEATH lyrics

[music: eilen-breitenbach / lyrics: eilen arranged by WARHEAD]

... years later: The day of his judgement is now certain. The execution of a fellow inmate inflames his hate towards the prison and guards ...

The sun rises, the light is warm and bright

Another inmate soon will lose his life

One more day, one more night, that's all

For sure he'll meet his murderers at dawn

Now they are here to kill another man

The Strap-down Team, I call them the hangmen

One cell is left forever and I know

It's killing time on death row!

In my hour of death, I wish I'm not alone

You are doing wrong, this law is heresy

IN MY HOUR OF DEATH, I WISH I'M HERE NO MORE

IT'S MY ONLY HOPE; THAT'S WHAT I'M FIGHTING FOR

The sun goes down, his last night has begun

He has to say good-bye to wife and son

He had hope, the pardon on his mind

But the governor he never signs

There's still a light that shines across the yard

Working men, playing all their part

The death house awaits the ceremony

Who is next? It could be me!

In my hour of death, I wish I'm not alone ...

Is there hope? Is there life?

Or will I follow him into the night?

... rejected and killed ...no,... not me !!!

Red light, glowing sky at dawn

Right now he fights the fight that can't be won

They're taking time, they're doing their duty

The job is done responsibly

Minutes, days, lifes are passing by

Another inmate, now, has lost his life

When prisoners mourn and one man had to go

It was killing time on death row!

In my hour of death, I wish I'm not alone ...
