Circus Zombie - Ballad of Death Row Lyrics

He lies so helpless, staring through a one-way glass
With a priest so heartless, saying soon the pain will pass
He knows there's no tomorrow, and today will soon be gone
It's time that he can't borrow, no one should have to die alone

They watch with desire, hoping their hearts will feel content
Innocent souls on fire, if nothing wrong, you'll be heaven sent
They know they won't see the sun rise, or the night ever fall again
God will forgive our selfish ties, and still love us in the end

Without a tear in his eye, and no wound on his cheek
He feels his breath being taken away, holds his head up
He's too brave to even speak, and if he did, what would he say
I'm sorry, for everything you believe I have done

I'm sorry, for the life I was sent to took
I'm sorry, for the pain someone else has caused
I'm sorry, you have disobeyed his book
A God of mercy on my soul

Yeah
His blood flow increases, the last thing he saw
Hell's devil dogs ringing a bell, his heartbeat decreases
There's the Lord pulling him out from hell

The gate slowly opens, he is met with open arms
Jesus smiles and takes his hand, he assures him he will come to no harm
Come on in my child, you are safe here
Forgive my children down on earth, the road is long with many curves

There's those songs that's hard to steer, they mean so well
Yet they do not listen to the truth
It was all right there, laid out in front of them
I provided the proof

I'm proud of you, and the way you stood
You believed in me just like you should
Here you will feel no pain, I will make sure someone clears your name
