Ballad of Death Row

He lies so helpless, staring through a one-way glass

With a priest so heartless, saying soon the pain will pass

He knows there's no tomorrow, and today will soon be gone

It's time that he can't borrow, no one should have to die alone

They watch with desire, hoping their hearts will feel content

Innocent souls on fire, did nothing wrong, he'll be heaven sent

They know they won't see the sunrise, or the night ever fall again

God will forgive our selfish tithes, and still love us in the end

Without a tear in his eye, none on his cheek

He feels his breath being taken away, holds his head up
