He says, I pulled the trigger, fearless and cool 
A murderer with intention, hardened like old school 
A cold-blooded man, holding up a store 
A calculated plan, to enforce what he's heading for 
Once I learned 'eye for eye', now I get pain for pain 
He wants me to die, I talk 'bout the D.A. 
He's counting 'life for life', he's showing up my way 
He says, there's a lot thats due - 
There are three ways to pay: 

For the bereaved we've got to dare 
Electric chair, death can be fair 
The draft of death gas chamber's breath 
Leads him to death, lock up the door! 
A lethal dose, a gift from God 
Puts him to sleep, smoothe like a dog 
The draft of death, gas chamber's breath 
Leads him to death, lock up the door! 

I'm facing judge and jury, the victim's families 
The actors of this play, of this criminal case 
The jury listen to, the words of the D.A. 
If they follow his request, I will be erased: 
We've got to free the world 
From the burdon of this beast 
With his loss of life, other people will find peace 
The punishment is fair, his guilt can't be denied 
The rules should be clear right now, 
There are three ways to die: 

For the bereaved, we've got to dare 
Electric chair, death can be fair 
The draft of death, gas chamber's breath 
Leads him to death, lock up the door! 
A lethal dose, a gift from God 
Puts him to sleep, smoothe like a dog 
The draft of death, gas chamber's breath 
Leads him to death, lock up the door! 

I've heard their words, I've heard them all 
Can't believe they're talking about me 
They made my hope rise and fall 
Now a real way out I cannot see 
All these feelings come down on me 
I've lost the gleam of hope, is this reality? 
It might come back again ... 

I loved my life, they proved me wrong, 
I've buried dreams, I've buried plans 
Maybe they're right, what have I done? 
I killed two people, here I am 
All these feelings come down on me 
I've lost the gleam of hope, is this reality? 
Will it come back again?
