Sentenced to Death

The one who's sitting on the highest throne 
imposed the punishment before I was born 
Sentenced to death 

The one who reigns over the rest 
sentenced me for eternal anguish and pain 
Nobody imposed me what to do, 
nobody imposed white kerchief on my head 
Now it's too late. Sentenced to death. 

I am the judge, I am executioner 
Sentence has just fallen 
Now I am waiting for the day 
When I won't cross the kerchief on my eyes 
Kerchief is black and I am sentenced 
Sentenced to death 

Although I am still alive I am dead already 
It's a transitory condition 
Between actual death and moment of sentence
