Butchered by corporeal fear
Behind these bars I anticipate
The scary horror of the gallows
I die like this every night
Buried in my coffin of tears
Startled out of nightmares
By the crushing boots of the jailers
Night and morning
Do I see the noose dangle
Hear the innocent shriek
Feel my body go limp
Being at the right place
Well at the wrong time
Handed the capital punishment
With Habeas Corpus mocked
No attorney to plead my cause
For what? regretably I don't know
Kidnapped by the state
Without trial for eternity
The wheat and tares
From seven to seven do they burn
Many plead not guilty
But falls to the stone heart of the noose
