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]
