Lyrics: Guilty as charged, but damn it, it ain`t right. There`s someone else controlling me. Death in the air. strapped in the Electric chair. This can`t be happening to me. Who made you god to say: "I`ll take your life from you"?
Flash before my eyes, now it`s time to die. Burning in my brain, I can feel the flames.
Wait for the sign, to flick the switch of death. It`s the beginning of the end. Sweat chilling cold as i watch death unfold, consciousness, my only friend. My fingers grip with fear. What am I doing here?
Flash...
Someone help me! Oh, please god help me! They`re trying to take it all away. I don`t want to die!
Time moving slow, the minutes seem like hours. The final curtain call I see. How true is this? Just get it over with. f this is true just let it be. Wakened by the horrid scream. Freed from this frightening dream.
Flash...
