Death Row

I wrote this when I was in the 10th grade!

It's a song about being x-ecuted in the electric chair!

Hope you enjoy?

"Johnny Voltage"

On death row, it might seem like years
Just six months untill my day
Locked up tight, there'll be no escape
Due to die just when they say

Iron bolts, the cold steel on my back
Tape hides my eyes away from day
Hinges creek, iron helmet of death
How can they steal my life away

I feel like I could cry, don't wanna die
I feel the weekness in my knees
Oh... ...Father please
Iron bars of steel, slam hells gate shut
My last link with life, deadly amped circuit

Teeth grind, my saliva boils
Death decends before my eyes
Extreme heat, yet there is no flame
Only I can hear my cries

Paralized, numbness setting in
Electric lights are all I see
Brain dead, there is no room for thaught
Lifeless mass no longer me

There is no second chance
For one last dance
It burns a million degrees
Oh... ...Father please
Arcing bars of steel, replace the sun's own light
My last link with life,
Yes my heart still beats..............
