Sentenced

lyrics

I can’t escape, from my fate
It’s too late, to have faith
Without hate, I await, the last gate

Captured at war, and sentenced to death
Today is the day, they’ll put me to death
Realize that I’ll soon be dead
My hands chained, a bag over my head
As we walk out, I hear all their steps
Feel the rain, my bag is now wet
Gloomy day, for the day I’ll die
Not what I wished, at the time of my last ride

Legs are trembling as I hear the roll of drums, played for me
Heartbeat is speeding up with the shuffle of guns, brought for me
My whole body crumbles under the weight of fear, invades me
Dignity is gone I can’t hold all the tears

Stopping me, pushing me against the wall
Hitting me, beating me until I fall
Lifting me, ordering me to stand
Hating me, now that I will meet the end

Breathing the scent of death
That is now in the air
It’s time for my last prayers
I will meet my death

Legs are trembling as I hear the roll of drums, played for me
Heartbeat is speeding up with the shuffle of guns, brought for me
My whole body crumbles under the weight of fear, invades me
Dignity is gone I can’t hold all the tears

The commander ordering to load
Then he’s asking his soldiers to hold
Heavy silence, I’m hearing their breaths
I am the target of their bullets
Last dawn, eternal dusk
Last duel, already lost
Following seconds seem like an hour
And finally, I’m hearing fire

First bullet is passing through my chest
Tearing apart my flesh
Hear my blood splashing on the wall
Standing for a while before I fall

Across my corpse, the chill of fear
Now the time to weep all my tears
Last bullet is going through my head
Final vision, I am seeing red
