(echo delay on very last note!!)
that was the hardest thing i have tabbed yet, so youd better be grateful.
jesta xxx
verse one:
guilty as charged nut damn it it aint right
theres someone else controlling me
death in the air, strapped in the electric chair
this cant be happening to me
who made you god to say 'ill take your life from you'
chorus
flash before my eyes now its time to die
burning in my brain i can feel the flame.
verse two.
wait for the sign to flick the switch of death
its the begginning of the end
sweat chilling cold as i watch death unfold
consiousness my only friend
my fingers grip with fear
waht am i doing here?
verse 3
time moving slow
the minutes seem like hours
the final courtain call i see.
how true is this? just get it over with
if it is true then let it be
wakened by horrid scream
freed from my frightening dream
vocal bridge
someone help me,oh please god help me
they're trying to take it all away
i dont want to die.
