Electrocution

“By law and order of the State Texas
You will come to death by electrocution
May God have mercy on your soul”

“Death penalty” were their last words
Yes, I deserve to leave this world
Parents cannot stand my crime
A child died by the hand of mine

I’m rotting endless in this room
Awaiting here a painful doom
[Excuses cannot make undone
I do regret, go down, my sun]

Old Sparky is a friend of mine
I hear the bells begin to chime
Old Sparky, I am ready to die
The final hour – I will fry!

Quarter, crucify or drowning
Shooting, stoning, gas chamber
The guillotine, buried alive
Burn at the stake, die by the knife

Mankind invented so much ways
To painfully end a criminal’s days
[I ask myself, is there a solution
But I can’t stop electrocution]

Old Sparky is a friend of mine
I hear the bells begin to chime
Old Sparky, I am ready to die
The final hour – I will fry!

Old Sparky is a friend of mine
I hear the bells begin to chime
Old Sparky, the chair is ready, I am not

Old Sparky is a friend of mine
I hear the bells begin to chime
Old Sparky, the chair is ready, I am not
Are you sure it was no plot?
