D / G / D / G /

D             G
  Locked in a room

D                G
  Strapped to an old chair

D             G
  Faint musty smell

D          G
  Odour of stale air

D               G
  Seen from the outside

D                   G
  In a cage that is six foot square

D               G
  Eyes that are fixed

D                   G
  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.
