Lyrics:
Guilty as charged, but damn it, it ain`t right.
There`s someone else controlling me.
Death in the air. strapped in the Electric chair.
This can`t be happening to me.
Who made you god to say:
"I`ll take your life from you"?
Flash before my eyes, now it`s time to die.
Burning in my brain, I can feel the flames.
Wait for the sign, to flick the switch of death.
It`s the beginning of the end.
Sweat chilling cold as i watch death unfold,
consciousness, my only friend.
My fingers grip with fear. What am I doing here?
Flash...
Someone help me! Oh, please god help me!
They`re trying to take it all away.
I don`t want to die!
Time moving slow, the minutes seem like hours.
The final curtain call I see.
How true is this? Just get it over with.
f this is true just let it be.
Wakened by the horrid scream.
Freed from this frightening dream.
Flash...
