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
