Acid Reign

Suspended Sentence

Acid Reign


My mind's trapped in a body below 
Which won't obey my commands 
My life stopped as the bullet hit me 
So while my brain's alive, I don't understand 
Denied freedom by my crippled senses 
Without a cry they help me die 
Have no will to live, I'm slipping to death 
So why am I alive ? 

A sentence for my crime of murder 
Surely I've paid my debt by now 
A sentence for my crime of murder 
Surely I've paid my debt by now 

I enter the court, scarred for life 
They pass their days before me 
Here to be judged, final pain 
The jury sits, the witness stands 
Revenge was my undoing 
Too many clues left the way clear 
All points heard, the hour glass runs 
Each grain's an ounce of life 

A sentence for my crime of murder 
Surely I've paid my debt by now 
A sentence for my crime of murder 
Surely I've paid my debt by now 

Returning from the room of decision 
Each one passes me with his eye 
Sweat drips from my scalp 
My hands slip from their grip, oh no ! 

The verdict sweeps the halls 
And ripples through my mind 
I'm to be suspended in limbo 
Condemned to a life of death 

(EPITAPH) 

Encased in my shell of demise 
A conscious cry from within 
I am disabled by time 
And I pray for my life again 

Oh no, again !
