[Lyric] Sentenced (Denial (NC, USA))

Day by day wasting away
A victim of my own demise
Each new day arrives
One more must die
To pay for his crimes
Anxiety grows when the men come
To take the next one away
Life escapes my body in search
For my final resting place

I count the men ahead in line
Before I meet my maker
My head grows numb
And I tremble in fear
Because I know there will be
No rest for me
Daylight breaks the window pane
Only two souls precede my fate
My life has no meaning
Because the crime was committed
For the master of my soul
Finally, the priest, he stands near
And the holy words have no meaning
‘Cause I fear my last breath is near
Each day recedes as the tide
‘Cause tomorrow will be my demise

As I approach the chamber
My soul chills, my life passes
Before my eyes
Locked in the meaning of my final words
The injection pierces my vein
A bright light opens in the doorway
Stands my god
Descending deep to a place that I fear
I secure that my new life has begun
