G C G
when they tightly strap me in , give me lethal injection ,
B E C D
just a few moments to live , no remorse for what i did ,
G C G
it was for the betterment of man , i gave the utmost sacrifice ,
B E G
before more damage could be done i took his life .
( G F# E ) * e’ C
there was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin ,
G F#
beady eyes rolled back in head , body dropped from the poison ,
( G F# E ) * e’ C
they could incapacitate me , but could not erase my sneer ,
G F#
i heard a thousand people screaming , while three billion others cheered ,
( G F# E ) * C D
he was gone , and i would soon be . . .
G C G
executed by the state , all appeals would be in vain ,
B E C D
i was not criminally insane , in fact , i was found to be ,
G C G
an otherwise caring and respectable member of society ,
B E G
a minor threat , except for that one man i killed .
( G F# E ) * e’ C
as the sedatives take effect , i just smile and close my eyes ,
G F#
there’s a priest kneeling next to me , he asks me if i realize ,
( G F# E ) * e’ C
i was going straight to hell , and he thought that i should know ,
G F#
that the man i killed’s replacement planned this whole scenario ,
( G F# E ) * C D
and what i did had no significance at all .
