A moment of silence, you hear not a sound Fear chokes your soul as the gavel comes crashing down The prisons are crowded, not an empty cell left No tax payer dollars, you have been sentenced to death No retribution, only electricution Dead man walking, just one more execution! Strapped in the chair, lightning arcs across your brain The tears of blood you cry outnumber the falling rain Terror in your moment of death Reaper comes for your last breath Away with him, you must walk Your vision tunnels out as your heart stops Death is affirmed, the coroner confirms Buried in the mud, you're left to the worms
