Altering the Future Lyrics by Death

Spiritual Healing (Deluxe Reissue)

1990

[Verse 1]
Creating a life only to destroy
Saved from a life of the unemployed
Where crime is the only way to survive
Which is the best to be, dead or alive?

[Verse 2]
Maybe a chance but maybe not
Born to be thrown in the trash to rot
To exist in this world might be a mistake
The one who is with child
It's their choice to make

[Pre-Chorus]
Death and life taken so easily
Right or wrong
Whose choice will it be?

[Chorus]
Abortion
When it is needed
Execution
For those who deserve it
The giving and taking of life
Will always be

[Guitar Solo]

[Post-Chorus]
Altering the future

[Bridge]
Look into the future
To prepare us for our fate
Controlling our existence
With every life we take

[Verse 3]
Life for a life should remain the rule
The innocent victim that is what's cruel
Look to the past is what we should do
When justice was done and justice was true

[Verse 4]
Using our laws to help their escape
An easy way out is what they create
Claiming insane is the way to freedom
People are stupid enough to believe them

[Pre-Chorus]
Death and life taken so easily
Right or wrong
Whose choice will it be?

[Chorus]
Abortion
When it is needed
Execution
For those who deserve it
The giving and taking of life
Will always be
