[Verse 1:]
|
Outside the rain is falling
|
The moon stands pale and cold
|
Somewhere the clock strikes midnight
|
six ours left to go
|
Justice says I'm guilty but is this really true?
|
Governor shows no mercy now the chair waits for me
|
|
[Bridge 1:]
|
I got a dream a long time ago
|
Visions of my life
|
Terrible deeds I saw in that night
|
violence crime and lies!
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
There are signs in the sky
|
tomorrow the day I must die
|
Lord stand by me on my last way!
|
(The) circle is closed and the visions turned to truth
|
Now I'm on my way to the gates of Eden
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Sometimes I feel anger about my own life
|
I wouldn't see the danger in those days
|
Steps outside the celldoor coming close to me
|
Sunbeams of the rising dawn makes me fear!
|
|
[Bridge 2:]
|
I got a dream a long time ago
|
Visions of my life
|
Terrible deeds I saw in that night
|
violence crime and lies!
|
|
[Bridge 3:]
|
Cold sweat is flowing slowly down on my back
|
The sands of times are running there's no turning back
|
The priest reads the last writes guardian stands beside
|
My blood runs faster now it's time to die!
|
|
[Bridge 4:]
|
Now I'm leavin' up to another world
|
Maybe a better place to live maybe to sleep
|
|
[Bridge 5:]
|
Tears rollin' down on my cheeks as my life drifts before me
|
I'm afraid of the coming but no one can hear my silent cries
|
|
[Bridge 6:]
|
Goodbye Mama goodbye my love
|
Goodbye to the rest of all
|
The time is right for the last farewell
|
Stop from cryin' hide your tears
|
I'm not worth for all those fears
|
Send me a smile before I walk away
|
|
[Bridge 7:]
|
My heart is drummin' as they lead me to the chair
|
The smilin' face of death - I see everywhere
|
Hangman comes closer
|
Last cigarette I can smoke
|
Than he will take the switch to turn my life off
|
|
[Bridge 1:]
|
I got a dream a long time ago
|
Visions of my life
|
Terrible deeds I saw in that night
|
violence crime and lies!
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
There's a sign in the sky now it's the hour to die
|
Lord stand by me on my last way!
|
(The) circle is closed and the visions turned to truth
|
Ready to pass the gates of Eden
|
