Basics The Executioner
I plead for my life
and I plead for my soul
I've been walkin' death row
and I do believe my time is up
She waits at the gate for me
Tightens the noose 'round my neck
And I can't believe this really is the end
of all the hopes and dreams we had
before the world came in and stole them all away
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
"Sit down" she said,
"I've got somethin' to say.
I've been patient with you,
but I don't believe you'll ever change.
I've made my choice.
Yeah I made up my mind
and there'll be no remorse
and I'm sorry but the time has come
and yeah we had a lot of fun
but I really have to do what's right for me."
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
You don't have to do this
You can spare my life
You don't have to whip me
I don't wanna die
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner, oh
Plead for my life
and I plead for my love
and I'm screaming inside
but it just comes out a whimper.
Her eyes are so cold
as she speaks out her sentence
and she kicks out the box beneath my feet
and I fall forever.
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
