Born to die

Àëåêñèîñ Øàíäåðìàíè
I am going the very last way
Through very dark corridor.
I am weeping, I’m scared and I pray,
When reaching the death chamber’s door.
The executors gave me my last meal,
Now they are ready to kill.
They’ll strap me soon to the electric chair,
Oh mother, please don’t care.
The guards said me strongly, "An eye for an eye,
For your crime you will be die.
You will pay for this and you’ll rest then in peace,
Be quiet and please do not cry."
To take our souls is only God’s job,
To kill anybody is wrong.
Don’t kill me, have mercy, I beg you, please stop,
Our justice is totally strong.
I’m not guilty, I am innocent,
Why have been I sentenced to death?
I’m asking for pardon Mister president,
All executors are mad.
A priest gave me blessing, sacred contribution,
This is real and this is not dream.
I have no illusion about retribution,
I’m going to heaven, I scream.
