The Guillotine

[Verse 1]
One hour left to live, one hour till I die
I should be walking free, yet still here now I lie

[Chorus]
Receive the blessing of the blade
The guillotine

[Verse 2]
Misjudged and sentenced for the crime I did not do
Accused of witchcraft and for raping one... or two!

[Chorus]
Receive the blessing of the blade
The guillotine

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
Strapped into place with a basket at my head
I hear the whisper now of the blade slicing the air

[Chorus]
Receive the blessing of the blade
The guillotine
