"Judgement Day"
She's dead—they executed her today
God gave her life
But the mighty state of Texas took it away
She's dead—gone to a better place
The governor's so ashamed
He won't even show his face
She's dead—her debt to society has been paid
Now she's just a memory
Fa-fa-fading away
She's dead—six foot in the ground
The devil took her body
But her soul is heaven bound
She's dead—no need to explain
They strapped her to a gurney
And stuck a needle in her vein
She's dead—just one thing left to say
She ain't the only one
Must face God on judgment day
She's dead—turn the channel, flip the page
On the wings of an angel
fly from this earthly cage
