Execution Song - Simon Dawes[00:00:00]

Seven men in a dust bin congress[00:00:40]

Standing in a row for final harvest[00:00:42]

There's a swinging motion to their shadows[00:00:45]

As if the sun above was a pocket watch[00:00:49]

Sparrows diving in the whirlwinds arriving[00:00:54]

Playing games with floating dead flowers revolving[00:00:57]

Those little white darlings like the hard snow falling[00:01:02]

On someone just standing over what they've caught[00:01:05]

There's always been a deep six waiting right below you[00:01:11]

Every time you thought you had tomorrow to wake up to[00:01:14]

Now you shut your eyes don't hold your tears back[00:01:17]

As your head gets a hold of what they're giving you[00:01:20]

And your legs start folding in twelve different places[00:01:25]

And up and down your back you feel the spectators' faces[00:01:28]

Hear your slow counting in three slow paces[00:01:32]

And your brain shows you pictures of wide open spaces[00:01:35]

Where you once shot the rifle your grandfather gave you[00:01:38]

At a brand new white wooden water tower[00:01:41]

But don't come to me and cry 'May Day'[00:01:49]

Cause it doesn't work that way[00:01:55]

But don't come to me and cry 'May Day'[00:02:02]

Cause it doesn't work that way[00:02:08]

I'm sure you didn't get a chance to see it[00:02:42]

But those scruffy boys from our country pockets[00:02:45]

Had a mean case of jitters that could[00:02:48]

Shake the name off God above[00:02:50]

And this is where you learn to talk in secrets[00:02:55]

Where the guilt's so dry and the sweat is helpless[00:02:58]

When they say "You know this is for what he did"[00:03:01]

But it just isn't good enough[00:03:05]

Well I've seen karma and his ball dropping[00:03:10]

I've seen life and its clever ways of stopping[00:03:12]

I've seen people chase dreams until the dream's forgotten[00:03:16]

And I've seen a killer with a heavy heart[00:03:19]

When the trigger can just be made of plastic[00:03:24]

And the blood can just be something that ruined the fabric[00:03:28]

On the uniform that you could just burn with matches[00:03:31]

But your eyes fall shut as reality disquiets[00:03:34]

And you finally know that what has happened today[00:03:37]

Is going to be a part of you[00:03:40]

And this better be a big pay day[00:03:48]

But it doesn't look that way[00:03:54]
