one hour left to live one hour 'til i die

i should be walking free yet still here i now lie



receive the blessing of the blade

the guillotine



misjudged and sentenced for a crime i did not do

accused of witchcraft and for raping one

or two



Receive the blessing of the blade

the guillotine



the masses cheer I climb the stairs

i hope for mercy but salvation's nowhere near

just one word from being forced to join the headless dead



strapped into place with a basket at my head

i hear the whisper now of the blade

slicing the air



receive the blessing of the blade

the guillotine
