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?
