Lethal InjectionStory of a guy on death rows last thought based on a true story. Texas case man had a stay of execution about to come on Wesdnesday by the state judge and his date was set for the Friday but Bush not wishing to allow that the then state governor moved his day from Friday to Monday. No appeal last hour before the state takes his life, the last thoughts of a death row inmate. Yes they're going to kill me, they're going to take my life away, yes they're going to kill me, there is nothing I can do or say! Inspired by a story I heard about a governor who moved up executions days before judges stays of executions would be sent. Death in Texas by Sister Helen Prejean confirmed what i had heard and I had to write this tune. LETHAL INJECTION Sniff the air, sentenced to death One hour before my time to die, meet Seth Don't want to die, fear congeals Touch the tears on my face, taste my last meal Replay my life, blurred imagery Claustrophobic walls, close in on me Sounds crisp conscious its scary Shake try to stand, legs mock me I can't die, inside bleeding Questions storming my mind, flashing meaning Yes they're going to kill me they're going to take my life away. Ow! Yes they're going to kill me there is nothing I can do or say. Ow! Don't want to die, no appeal, sweet air on my face Notice colour, texture, grey steel Wallow in sensation, pain, sorrow, misery Cling to history, playing in the garden aged three My dogs death, I was ten, I cried so Believe in Jesus, dog collars praise you You wont answer me, suddenly I'm freezing Meant nothing to my life, now you give it meaning
