The Sentence Is Death Lyrics by Intruder

A Higher Form of Killing

0

[Intro: Overdose / The burial]
Oh god help me! I can't take it anymore!! I'm so scared!! just let me die!!
The rain fell down with a chilling sound into the open grave
The coffin lowers, for him it's over, for them it's just another day
A son he's lost, at such a cost, a victim of the times
Now he's alone, there's no one home, he should have read between the lines
[The awakening:]
He was one of the meek, he always turned his cheek
He lived by the golden rule
But now that's changed, his life's rearranged, he's got a new goal to pursue
He's a man obsessed, he will never rest, 'till he finds who he's looking for
A dealer of dreams but of the kind obscene, they offer death - and nothing more
[Chorus:]
Eye for an eye - tooth for a tooth
Soon you will die, destroyer of youth
Life for a life - it's only fair
So go ahead and scream, no one will hear - no one will care!
[Confrontation:]
It's been 2 long years and so many tears, but the end has finally come
Facing his man gun ready in hand, it's time to vindicate his son
He pushes in and the dealer only grins but his eyes give away his fear
The man says with a sigh, it should be no surprise, but let me tell you why I'm here
[Chorus:]
Eye for an eye - tooth for a tooth
Soon you will die, destroyer of youth
Life for a life - it's only fair
So go ahead and scream, no one will hear
You live in the streets, so you know the rules
You took your chances and now you lose
I'm your judge and jury, executioner too
For what you did to my son, I pass sentence on you - and the sentence is death!
[Retribution:]
Chained to a chair, water everywhere, wrapped in wire head to toe
Cables from the wall are connected to it all, he knows his death will be slow
Throwing the switch, the body starts to twitch, as the smell of burning flesh fills the air
He walks away, no reason to stay, there's a new world waiting out there
[Chorus:]
Eye for an eye - tooth for a tooth
Soon you will die, destroyer of youth
Life for a life - it's only fair
So go ahead and scream, no one will hear
