Sentenced Lyrics

Day by day wasting away
A victim of my own demise.
Each new day arrives.
One more must die
To pay for his crimes.
Anxiety grows when the men come
To take the next one away.
Life escapes my body in search
For my final resting place.

I count the men ahead in line
Before I meet my maker.
My head grows numb
And I tremble in fear
Because I know there will be
No rest for me.
Daylight breaks the window pane.
Only two souls precede my fate.
My life has no meaning
Because the crime was committed
For the master of my soul.

Finally, the priest, he stands near
And the holy words have no meaning
‘Cause I fear my last breath is near.
Each day recedes as the tide,
‘Cause tomorrow will be my demise.

As I approach the chamber
My soul chills, my life passes
Before my eyes.
Locked in the meaning of my final words,
The injection pierces my vein.
A bright light opens in the doorway
Stands my god.
Descending deep to a place that I fear
I secure that my new life has begun.
