Suspended Sentence

My mind's trapped in a body below Which won't obey my commands My life stopped as the bullet hit me So while my brain's alive, I don't understand Denied freedom by my crippled senses Without a cry they help me die Have no will to live, I'm slipping to death So why am I alive? A sentence for my crime of murder Surely I've paid my debt by now A sentence for my crime of murder Surely I've paid my debt by now I enter the court, scarred for life They pass their days before me Here to be judged, final pain The jury sits, the witness stands Revenge was my undoing Too many clues left the way clear All points heard, the hour glass runs Each grain's an ounce of life A sentence for my crime of murder Surely I've paid my debt by now A sentence for my crime of murder Surely I've paid my debt by now Returning from the room of decision Each one passes me with his eye Sweat drips from my scalp My hands slip from their grip, oh no! The verdict sweeps the halls And ripples through my mind I'm to be suspended in limbo Condemned to a life of death (EPITAPH) Encased in my shell of demise A conscious cry from within I am disabled by time And I pray for my life again Oh no, again!
