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

       Am      F         C  D
Just a few moments to live no remorse for what I did

            G       C   G
Was for the benefit of man I gave the utmost sacrifice

            D     C    G
Before more damage could be done I took his life

            Em                                C                  G
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin

                                        D                G
Beady eyes rolled back in head the body dropped from the poison

            Em                         C            G
They could incapacitate me but could not erase my sneer

                                                  D              G
I heard a thousand people screaming while three billion others cheered

        Em       C            D
He was gone and I would soon be

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

          Am F     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

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

        Em                             C                  G
As the se-datives take effect I just smile and close my eyes

                                                 D         G
There s a priest kneeling next to me he asks me if I realize

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

                                                 D            G
That the man I killed s replacement planned this whole scenario

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