Waiting as a damned man waiting for a sign Waiting for the hangman waiting in dark time Capital punishment for me capital punishment for I have sinned Capital punishment for me capital punishment for I was wrong Waiting in your cold cell waiting for a sign Waiting in your cold hell waiting for the chime Capital punishment for you capital punishment for you have sinned Capital punishment for you capital punishment for you were wrong Let us pray Father we're so close to death you told us this time would come We were full of scorn now we see the wrong deeds bloom You told us that we were wrong Father do you hear us at all Oh you must be there you were always there Father it nearly seems to me there's no answering Are you gone you are gone Capital punishment for me capital punishment for I have sinned Capital punishment for you capital punishment for you have sinned Capital punishment for us capital punishment for we have sinned Take a look at the sky can you see a God Once when he was there we had a chance one chance But a long time ago he was left alone By his own mankind and so he died Goodbye my love Capital punishment for me Capital punishment for all
