Execution Song-Simon Dawes

[ti:Execution Song] [ar:Simon Dawes] [al:Carnivore] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Execution Song - Simon Dawes [00:40.16]Seven men in a dust bin congress [00:42.84]Standing in a row for final harvest [00:45.50]There's a swinging motion to their shadows [00:49.55]As if the sun above was a pocket watch [00:52.11] [00:54.45]Sparrows diving in the whirlwinds arriving [00:57.50]Playing games with floating dead flowers revolving [01:01.33] [01:02.92]Those little white darlings like the hard snow falling [01:05.94]On someone just standing over what they've caught [01:08.55] [01:11.01]There's always been a deep six waiting right below you [01:14.13]Every time you thought you had tomorrow to wake up to [01:17.32]Now you shut your eyes don't hold your tears back [01:20.55]As your head gets a hold of what they're giving you [01:23.47] [01:25.46]And your legs start folding in twelve different places [01:28.86]And up and down your back you feel the spectators' faces [01:32.28]Hear your slow counting in three slow paces [01:35.16]And your brain shows you pictures of wide open spaces [01:38.50]Where you once shot the rifle your grandfather gave you [01:41.92]At a brand new white wooden water tower [01:44.42] [01:49.73]But don't come to me and cry 'May Day' [01:53.38] [01:55.69]Cause it doesn't work that way [01:57.62] [02:02.77]But don't come to me and cry 'May Day' [02:06.64] [02:08.57]Cause it doesn't work that way [02:10.60] [02:42.15]I'm sure you didn't get a chance to see it [02:44.70] [02:45.24]But those scruffy boys from our country pockets [02:48.60]Had a mean case of jitters that could [02:50.52]Shake the name off God above [02:52.91] [02:55.34]And this is where you learn to talk in secrets [02:58.28]Where the guilt's so dry and the sweat is helpless [03:01.52]When they say "You know this is for what he did" [03:04.14] [03:05.77]But it just isn't good enough [03:07.68] [03:10.05]Well I've seen karma and his ball dropping [03:12.93]I've seen life and its clever ways of stopping [03:16.03]I've seen people chase dreams until the dream's forgotten [03:19.17] [03:19.82]And I've seen a killer with a heavy heart [03:22.56] [03:24.79]When the trigger can just be made of plastic [03:28.23]And the blood can just be something that ruined the fabric [03:31.15]On the uniform that you could just burn with matches [03:34.25]But your eyes fall shut as reality disquiets [03:37.99]And you finally know that what has happened today [03:40.90]Is going to be a part of you [03:43.23] [03:48.57]And this better be a big pay day [03:52.47] [03:54.92]But it doesn't look that way
