GWhen they tightly strap me in, give me Clethal injecGtion,
Just a Emfew moments to Glive, no reCmorse for what I Ddid,
It was for the Gbetterment of man, I gave the uCtmost
sacriGfice,
Before more Emdamage could be Gdone I Ctook his Glife.
            C                                D
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured
the skin,
Beady Geyes rolled back in head, the body dCropped from the
Dpoison,
They could Cincapacitate me, but could not Derase my sneer,
I heard a Gthousand people screaming, while three bCillion
others cDheered,
He was Ggone, and DI would soon be...
ExeGcuted by the state, all appCeals would be in vGain,
I was not criEmminally Ginsane, in fact, CI was found to Dbe,
An otherwise Gcaring and respeCctable member oGf Emsociety,
GA minor threat, except for Cthat one man I Gkilled.
As the Gsedatives take Ceffect, I just Gsmile, close my Emeyes,
There's a Gpriest kneeling next Cto me, he asks me if I
reaDlise,
I was Ggoing straight to Chell, and he Gthought that I should
Emknow,
That the Gman I killed’s Creplacement planned this whole
DScenario,
And what I Gdid had Cno significDance Gat all.

G C G

When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,

Em G C D

Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,

G C

It was for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost

sacrifice,

Em G C G

Before more damage could be done I took his life.

C D

There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured

the skin,

G C

Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the

poison,

C D

They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,

G C

I heard a thousand people screaming, while three billion

others cheered,

G D

He was gone, and I would soon be...

G C G

Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain,

Em G C D

I was not criminally insane, in fact, I was found to be,

G C G Em

An otherwise caring and respectable member of society,

G C G

A minor threat, except for that one man I killed.

G C G Em

As the sedatives take effect, I just smile, close my eyes,

G C

There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I

realise,

That the man I killed’s replacement planned this whole

Scenario,

G C D G

And what I did had no significance at all.
