Death Penalty

A moment of silence, you hear not a sound
Fear chokes your soul as the gavel comes crashing down
The prisons are crowded, not an empty cell left
No tax payer dollars, you have been sentenced to death
No retribution, only electricution
Dead man walking, just one more execution!
Strapped in the chair, lightning arcs across your brain
The tears of blood you cry outnumber the falling rain
Terror in your moment of death
Reaper comes for your last breath
Away with him, you must walk
Your vision tunnels out as your heart stops
Death is affirmed, the coroner confirms
Buried in the mud, you’re left to the worms
