I should be walking free yet still here I now lie
Receive the blessing of the blade
The guillotine
Misjudged and sentenced for a crime I did not do
Accused of witchcraft and for raping one
Or two
Receive the blessing of the blade
The guillotine
The masses cheer I climb the stairs
I hope for mercy but salvation's nowhere near
Just one word from being forced to join the headless dead
Strapped into place with a basket at my head
I hear the whisper now of the blade
Slicing the air
Receive the blessing of the blade
The guillotine
One hour left to live one hour 'til I die I should be walking free yet still here I now lie Receive the blessing of the blade The guillotine Misjudged and sentenced for a crime I did not do Accused of witchcraft and for raping one Or two Receive the blessing of the blade The guillotine The masses cheer I climb the stairs I hope for mercy but salvation's nowhere near Just one word from being forced to join the headless dead Strapped into place with a basket at my head I hear the whisper now of the blade Slicing the air Receive the blessing of the blade The guillotine Explain Request ×
