G                                      C           G
When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,

       Em             G          C                D
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,

               G                              C
It was for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost

     G
sacrifice,

            Em              G      C        G
Before more damage could be done I took his life.
C D There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin,
      G                                   C
Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the

D
poison,

           C                              D
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,

          G                                       C
I heard a thousand people screaming, while three billion

        D
others cheered,

       G         D
He was gone, and I would soon be...

   G                          C                 G
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain,

             Em      G                C              D
I was not criminally insane, in fact, I was found to be,

             G               C              G Em
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society,

G                          C              G
A minor threat, except for that one man I killed.

       G              C              G               Em
As the sedatives take effect, I just smile, close my eyes,

          G                    C
There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I

   D
realise,

      G                 C            G
I was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should

Em
know,

         G              C
That the man I killed’s replacement planned this whole

D
Scenario,

           G       C          D    G
And what I did had no significance at all.
