Lyrics
Verse 1
Just a mortal man
Trapped inside a useless life
He’s waiting in the shadows
Waiting for his time
They’ve beaten and they’ve bruised him
And they took his pride
Now he’s ready to stand up
To go on that final ride
Verse 2
They took his innocence
They took away his life
Now he’s been locked away
Because he held the knife
Now he must serve his time
Never to see the light
Nothing left to do but suffer
Even though he’s right
Pre Chorus
Look into his eyes you’ll see
The nothingness inside
He knows his time has come to go on that final ride
Chorus
So fire up the chair
Turn on the juice
Let the electrodes fire away
He knows that it’s his time, but he don’t care
His inhibitions loose
Where he goes, he’s unaware
He just knows it’s time to die
Verse 3
He’s walking down that mile
It’s time to face his fears
He’s been pinned up awhile
But you won’t see his tears
The hang man has a smile
He wants to see him die
Don’t know he’s innocent
Just wants to see him fry
Chorus
So fire up the chair
Turn on the juice
Let the electrodes fire away
He knows that it’s his time, but he don’t care
His inhibitions loose
Where he goes, he’s unaware
He just knows it’s time to die
Verse 4
This is the final hour
Now it’s time to go
Flip the switch, hit the power
Now let’s start the show
He feels the surge run through
His veins; he feels the flow
But he refused to die
Now it’s time for them to go
Chorus
So fire up the chair
Turn on the juice
Let the electrodes fire away
He knows that it’s his time, but he don’t care
His inhibitions loose
Where he goes, he’s unaware
He just knows it’s time to die
