Song lyrics

Guilty as charged,
But damn it, it ain’t right.
There’s someone else controlling me.
Death in the air.
Strapped in the electric chair…
This can’t be happening to me.
Who made you God to say
“I’ll take your life from you”?

[Chorus:]
Flash before my eyes.
Now it’s time to die.
Burning in my brain.
I can feel the flame.

Wait for the sign
To flick the switch of death
It’s the beginning of the end.
Sweat, chilling cold
As I watch deaths unfold.
Consciousness my only friend.
My fingers grip with fear.
What am I doing here?..

[Chorus:]
Flash before my eyes.
Now it’s time to die.
Burning in my brain.
I can feel the flame.

Someone, help me.
Oh, please, God, help me.
They are trying to take it all away.
I don’t want to die.

Someone, help me.
Oh, please, God, help me.
They are trying to take it all away.
I don’t want to die.

Time moving show,
The minutes seem like hours.
The final curtain call, I see.
How true is this?
Just get it over with.
If this is true, just let it be.
Woken by horrid scream,
Freed from this frightening dream…

[Chorus:]
Flash before my eyes.
Now it’s time to die.
Burning in my brain.
I can feel the flame.
