As they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection

I've just a few moments to live, I've no remorse for what I did

It was for the benefit of man, I made the utmost sacrifice

Before more damage could be done I took his life

There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin

Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the poison

They could incapacitate me but could not erase my sneer

I heard a thousand people screaming, I know three billion others cheered

He was gone and I would soon be

Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain

I was not criminally insane, in fact I was found to be

An otherwise caring and respectable member of society

A minor threat except for that one man I killed

As the sedatives take effect, I just smile, close my eyes

There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I realize

I was going straight to hell and he thought that I should know

That the man I killed's replacement planned this whole scenario

And what I did would make no difference
