[Verse 1]

One hour left to live, one hour till I die

I should be walking free, yet still here now I lie

[Chorus]

Receive the blessing of the blade

The guillotine

[Verse 2]

Misjudged and sentenced for the crime I did not do

Accused of witchcraft and for raping one... or two!

[Chorus]

Receive the blessing of the blade

The guillotine

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

The masses cheer, I climb the stairs

I hope for mercy, but salvation's nowhere near

Just one word from being forced to join the headless dead

[Verse 3]

Strapped into place with a basket at my head

I hear the whisper now of the blade slicing the air

[Chorus]

Receive the blessing of the blade

The guillotine
