...as demanded by the prosecuting attorney the jury find him guilty and  subsequently he is sentenced to death. His bitter ordeal begins...      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?
