[Guitar solo: S. Genozider]

[Intro]
The garrote

[Verse 1]
Held down with force
Rancid rags to take your sight
Rusty and coarse
This wooden plank's your lap this night
Grow a spine before it is too late
I show you a tool that sure knows to persuade

[Guitar solo: S. Genozider]

[Verse 2]
Tied to the rack
The metallic chokehold grabs your throat
Straighten your back
Established methods, vicious and old
Relentless sway rotating towards doom
Piercing pain to initialize your gloom

[Chorus]
The garrote
The garrote
Await the lethal screw
(The garrote)
It's coming towards you
(The garrote)
Dreaded and abhorred
(The garrote)
To twist your spinal chord

[Guitar solo: S. Genozider]

[Bridge]
Enforcer, cranking towards misfortune
He'll get y'all
The grip of the garrote shall come for you this night
Garrote

[Guitar solo: M. Outlaw]

[Chorus]
Await the lethal screw
(The garrote)
It's coming towards you
(The garrote)
Dreaded and abhorred
(The garrote)
To twist your spinal chord

[Outro]
(The garrote)
(The garrote)
(The garrote)
The garrote
