It all began when they took me from my home 
And put me on Death Row, 
A crime for which I am totally innocent, you know. 
 
I began to warm and chill 
To objects and their fields, 
A ragged cup, a twisted mop 
The face of Jesus in my soup 
Those sinister dinner deals 
The meal trolley's wicked wheels 
A hooked bone rising from my food 
And all things either good or ungood. 
 
And the mercy seat is waiting 
And I think my head is burning 
And in a way I'm yearning 
To be done with all this weighing of the truth. 
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth 
And anyway I told the truth 
And I'm not afraid to die. 
 
I hear stories from the chamber 
Christ was born into a manger 
And like some ragged stranger 
He died upon the cross 
Might I say it seems so fitting in its way 
He was a carpenter by trade 
Or at least that's what I'm told 
 
My kill hand's tatooed E.V.I.L. 
Across it's brother's fist 
That filthy five! 
They did nothing to challenge or resist. 
 
In Heaven His throne is made of gold 
The ark of his Testament is stowed 
A throne from which I'm told 
All history does unfold. 
It's made of wood and wire 
And my body is on fire 
And God is never far away. 
 
Into the mercy seat I climb 
My head is shaved, my head is wired 
And like a moth that tries 
To enter the bright eye 
I go shuffling out of life 
Just to hide in death awhile 
And anyway I never lied. 
 
And the mercy seat is waiting 
And I think my head is burning 
And in a way I'm yearning 
To be done with all this weighing of the truth. 
An eye for an eye 
And a tooth for a tooth 
And anyway I told the truth 
And I'm not afraid to die. 
 
And the mercy seat is burning 
And I think my head is glowing 
And in a way I'm hoping 
To be done with all this twisting of the truth. 
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth 
And anyway there was no proof 
And I'm not afraid to die. 
 
And the mercy seat is glowing 
And I think my head is smoking 
And in a way I'm hoping 
To be done with all these looks of disbelief. 
A life for a life and a truth for a truth 
And I've got nothing left to lose 
And I'm not afraid to die. 
 
And the mercy seat is smoking 
And I think my head is melting 
And in a way that's helping 
To be done with all this twisting of the truth. 
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth 
And anyway I told the truth 
But I'm afraid I told a lie.
