The Guillotine

One hour left to live one hour 'til i die
I should be walking free yet still here i now lie

Receive the blessing of the blade
The guillotine

Misjudged and sentenced for a crime i did not do
Accused of witchcraft and for raping one
Or two

Receive the blessing of the blade
The guillotine

The masses cheer i climb the stairs
I hope for mercy but salvation's nowhere near
Just one word from being forced to join the headless dead

Strapped into place with a basket at my head
I hear the whisper now of the blade
Slicing the air

Receive the blessing of the blade
The guillotine
