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 [bad word] 
 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 [bad word] 
 Blinded by the flesh of the media
 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
