In the US alone, during the 20th century//
Seven thousand lives lost, to the state penetensionary//
Not One innocent man, ...Hah’ I think not//
Still when you murder a murderer, murder’s what you got//
Taught to ‘forgive & forget’, or are we just lying//
Cause what’s the use of forgetting, if it’s followed by dying//
They used to fry em’ in chairs, now its lethal injection//
Who’s the winner in this?, where’s the chance for correction//
Under closer inspection, by the dissection people//
By killing a killer, do we become of their equal?//
In life there’s no sequel, cause the end is the end//
And if another life’s taken, will a broken heart mend//
Comprehend the condemned, in his last day’s//
Living for death, watch as an atheist preys//
In the dark he stays, behind the bar’s of Jail//
Gaze to stars at night, with no chance of bail//
They say an ‘eye for an eye’, but is Murder worth death//
And is it not the same, when you take a killer’s breath//
