Out of my window I see
The light shines down on me
There is no hope for escape
I've been dealt my final fate
Now I've made my choice
The chance to hear my voice
My neck will feel no rope
To the chopping block I'll stroll
And I know what I've got to do
Just hope my payment makes it through
All my life on the dice I've cast
Bet it all on one last chance
I'll pay the price for my life
Come close, take my advice
Give it all my son
To the hooded one
Make no mistake, take haste
For me there will be no escape
Don't make the same error as me
You've got to live and be free
Now I know what I've got to do
Just hope my payment makes it through
All my life on the dice I've cast
Bet it all on one last chance
You paid the price for a quick end of life
And now that's all that you've got
You paid the price for a quick end of life
I hope he sharpened a lot
Down on my knees I kneel
I look at the axeman's steel
Feel the flash of the blade
The smile sends me away
Now I know what I had to do
Just hope my payment made it through
All my life on the dice I've cast
I bet it all on one last chance
