Death Row
People are fighting at this very moment,
with sweat and tears of pain they swing
With every ounce of dignity found and spent
to room the righteous in an corrupt system
"for freedom!" They constantly sing,
"For freedom" they get denied their dream.
We are dead but our words try and wake
any soul that is willing to listen.
To bring back the dead from the stake
who breath through an iron gate.
Freedom from judgement of sin
and clemency from another man bring.
