  • It began when they come took me from my home
    And put me in Dead Row
    Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know
  • And I'll say it again
    I am not afraid to die.
     
  • Em B(addE)
    I began to warm and chill
    Em B(addE)
  • To objects and their fields
    Em B(addE)
    A ragged cup, a twisted mop
  • Em B(addE)
    The face of Jesus in my soup
    Em B(addE)
  • Those sinister dinner deals
    Em B(addE)
    The meal trolley's wicked wheels
  • Em B(addE)
    A hooked bone rising from my
    Em B(addE)
  • food. All things good or ungood.
     
    E5
  • And the mercy seat is waiting
    E5(addB)
    And I think my head is burning
  • E5 E5(addB)
    And in a way I'm yearning to be
    D5 D5(addA)
  • done with all this measuring of
    D5 D5(addA)
    truth, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
  • F5 F5(addC)
    tooth, And anyway I told the
    C5 C5(addG)
  • truth, And I'm not afraid to die.
     
    Em B(addE)
  • Interpret signs and catalogue
    Em B(addE)
    A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog
  • Em B(addE)
    The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind.
    Em B(addE)
  • They are the sick breath at my hind
    Em B(addE)
    They are the sick breath at my hind
  • Em B(addE)
    They are the sick breath at my hind
    Em B(addE)
  • They are the sick breath gathering
    Em B(addE)
    at my hind.
  •  
    E5 E5(addB)
    I hear stories from the
  • E5 E5(addB)
    chamber, How Christ was born into a
    E5 E5(addB)
  • manger And like some ragged stranger
    D5 D5(addA)
    Died upon the cross, And might I
  • D5 D5(addA)
    say it seems so fitting in its
    F5 F5(addC)
  • way He was a carpenter by
    C5 C5(addG)
    trade, Or at least that's what I'm
  • Em B(addE)
    told.
     
  • Em B(addE)
     
    Em B(addE)
  • Like my good hand
    Em B(addE)
    I tattooed E.V.I.L. across it's
  • Em B(addE)
    brother's fist
    Em B(addE)
  • That filthy five! They did
    Em B(addE)
    nothing to resist.
  •  
    E5 E5(addB)
    In heaven His throne is made of gold
  • E5 E5(addB)
    The ark of His testament is
    E5 E5(addB)
  • stowed, A throne from which I'm told all
    D5 D5(addA)
    history does unfold, Down here it's
  • D5 D5(addA)
    made of wood and wire, And my
    F5 F5(addC)
  • body is on fire
    C5 C5(addG)
    And God is never far away.
  •  
    Em B(addE)
    Into the mercy seat I climb
  • Em B(addE)
    My head is shaved, my head is
    Em B(addE)
  • wired, And like a moth that tries to
    D5 D5(addA)
    enter the bright eye, so I go
  • D5 D5(addA)
    shuffling out life, Just to
    F5 F5(addC)
  • hide in death a while
    C5 C5(addG)
    And anyway I never lied.
  •  
    Em B(addE)
    My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L.
  • Em B(addE)
    Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D.
    Em B(addE)
  • 'Tis a long suffering shackle
    Em B(addE)
    Collaring all that rebel blood
  •  
    E5
    And the mercy seat is waiting
  • E5(addB)
    And I think my head is burning
    E5 E5(addB)
  • And in a way I'm yearning to be
    D5 D5(addA)
    done with all this measuring of
  • D5 D5(addA)
    truth, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
    F5 F5(addC)
  • tooth, And anyway I told the
    C5 C5(addG)
    truth, And I'm not afraid to die.
  •  
    E5
    And the mercy seat is burning
  • E5(addB)
    And I think my head is glowing
    E5 E5(addB)
  • And in a way I'm hoping to be
    D5 D5(addA)
    done with all this weighing up of
  • D5 D5(addA)
    truth, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
    F5 F5(addC)
  • tooth, And anyway I told the
    C5 C5(addG)
    truth, And I'm not afraid to die.
  •  
    E5
    And the mercy seat is glowing
  • E5(addB)
    And I think my head is smoking
    E5 E5(addB)
  • And in a way I'm hoping to be
    D5 D5(addA)
    done with all these looks of disbeleif
  • D5 D5(addA)
    An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
    F5 F5(addC)
  • tooth, And anyway I there was no
    C5 C5(addG)
    proof, Nor a motive why.
  •  
    E5
    And the mercy seat is smoking
  • E5(addB)
    And I think my head is melting
    E5 E5(addB)
  • And in a way I'm helping to be
    D5 D5(addA)
    done with all this twisting of
  • D5 D5(addA)
    truth, An eye for an eye and a truth for a
    F5 F5(addC)
  • truth, And anyway I told the
    C5 C5(addG)
    truth, And I'm not afraid to die.
  •  
    E5
    And the mercy seat is melting
  • E5(addB)
    And I think my blood is boiling
    E5 E5(addB)
  • And in a way I'm spoiling all the
    D5 D5(addA)
    fun with all this truth and consequence
  • D5 D5(addA)
    An eye for an eye and a truth for a
    F5 F5(addC)
  • truth, And anyway I told the
    C5 C5(addG)
    truth, And I'm not afraid to die.
  •  
    E5
    And the mercy seat is waiting
  • E5(addB)
    And I think my head is burning
    E5 E5(addB)
  • And in a way I'm yearning to be
    D5 D5(addA)
    done with all this measurement of
  • D5 D5(addA)
    proof, A lie for a lie and a truth for a
    F5 F5(addC)
  • truth, And anyway there was no
    C5 C5(addG)
    proof, And I'm not afraid to tell a lie.

    E5
    And the mercy seat is waiting

    And I think my head is burning
    E5 E5(addB)
  • And in a way I'm yearning to be

    done with all this measurment of
  • D5 D5(addA)
    proof, An eye for an eye and a truth for a
    F5 F5(addC)
  • truth, And anyway I told the
    C5 C5(addG)
    truth, And I'm afraid I told a lie.
