Guilty as charged 
But damn it, it ain't right 
There is 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 I am doing here? 

Flash before my eyes 
Now it's time to die 
Burning in my brain 
I can feel the flames 

Someone help me 
Oh please God help me 
They are trying to take it all away 
I don't want to die 

Time moving slowly 
The minutes seem like hours 
The final curtain call I see 

How true is this? 
Just get it over with 
If this is true, just let it be 

Wakened by the horrid cream 
Freed from the frightening dream 

Flash before my eyes 
Now it's time to die 
Burning in my brain 
I can feel the flames
