D / G / D / G /

Locked in a room

Strapped to an old chair

Faint musty smell

Odour of stale air

Seen from the outside

In a cage that is six foot square

Eyes that are fixed

In a glazed, disbelieving stare.

Intro * 2

D / G / D / G /

Cyanide pills

Dropped in an acid bath

Fall from the clouds

As deadly as Death's own spell.

Lungs start to burst

Trying to hold your breath

But have the last laugh

Because Earth is just a case if there's not life.
