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
