When they tightly strapped me in, gave me lethal injection
Dm Dm F G
just a few more minutes to live, no remorse for what i did
F F F
its for the betterment of man, i gave the utmost sacrifice
Dm F F
before more damage could be done i took his life
F G Dm F
theres a split second of silence as the dart punctured his skin
F G
beady eyes rolled back in head, body dropped from the poison
F G Dm F
they could incapacitate me but could not erase my sneer
F G
i heard a thousand people screaming while three billion others cheered
Dm F G
he was gone, and I would soon be
F F F
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain
Dm Dm F G
i was not criminally insane, in fact, i was found to be
F F F
an otherwise caring and respectable member of society
Dm F F
a minor threat except for that one man i killed
F G Dm F
As the sedetives take affect, i just smile and close my eyes
F G
theres a priest kneeling next to me, he asked me if i realized
F G Dm F
i was going straight to hell and he thought that i should know
F G
that the man i killed's replacement planned this whole scenario
Dm F G (outro)F F F Dm F Dm Dm F
and what i did had no significance at all
