Five Days to Death Lyrics


Five days I've got to suffer

In this cold and lonely cell

The judgement sentenced me to death

Five days of living hell

My brain is all askew inside

With thought of all my past

My mind plays out the major role

With me as supporting cast

I can't take no more

Destroying my mind

I can't pay this debt

To mankind

They drag me to the chair of death

And strap me down so tight

And now I can't take life no more

I've lost my helpless fight

Five days to death

A visit from my friends this day

But that just makes things worse

Around the room they sit and cry

There's nothing let to do but die

Oh, forty-eight hours now

The time it just went by

The sun goes down, the moon comes up

My last night's sleep arrived

I can't take no more

Destroying my mind

I can't pay this debt

To mankind

They drag me to the chair of death

And strap me down so tight

And now I can't take life no more

I've lost my helpless fight

Five days to death

I hear the rattle of the keys

As they unlock the door

The water runs down form my eyes

As I try and pray some more

I hear the rattle of the keys

As they unlock the door

The water runs down form my eyes

As I try and pray some more

I can't take no more

Destroying my mind

I can't pay this debt

To mankind

They drag me to the chair of death

And strap me down so tight

And now I can't take life no more

I've lost my helpless fight

Five days to death
