warhead - electrocute lyrics

[music: breitenbach / lyrics: zur heide arranged by breitenbach]

... the pardon board refuses the aquittal of the murderer. outside the courthouse there's a pro-death sentence demonstration and the people demand his annihilation ...

turned down! dead man in the dock
the pardon board has done it's job
i break down, guards lead me away
i have lost the game

outside people celebrate
my day of death they can't await
i shiver as i hear their words, again and again:

clean out the brute! electrocute!

how can i face my destiny?
the strap-down team's awaiting me
to end my life in chains and cells, a life in hell
to pray for delay or clemency
the last rites of humanity
is this what is left for me?
i still hear them yell:

clean out the brute! electrocute!
