How long must I stay  How long must I go on  Taking my chances on burning away  Don't take away my daylight  Don't take away my dream  Why must I go (*)  To hell and back again  To hell and back again  To hell and back again  To hell and back again  Will I make the morning (**)  To see another day  The Gods may come at midnight  They're taking me away  I'm waiting here on death row  I pray for my reprieve  (Repeat *)  The chaplain and the gardener (***)  Have told me how to die  I've used up all my chances  Now's the time to cry  For I can hear the footsteps  The lights have just gone dim  I'm on the final journey  (Repeat *)  (Repeat **)  (Repeat *)  (Repeat ***)  (Repeat *)
