Forgotten But Not Gone

Talk about humanity, what's wrong and what is right

You take a human being and strip them of their life

A tormented soul, trapped and left to decay

In a controlled environment to die in a demented way

Death row, he's awaiting, time just drags by

Gas chamber awaits for him to pay for his crime

When will the madness end, will it be today

What terrible thoughts living day by day

The crime was committed, forever left condemned

Left and forgotten, the fortune never ends

Sentenced to death, delayed for seventeen years

Left to go insane now death's his greatest fear

15 thousand dollars monthly that we pay

To keep him alive, now that's insane

Injustice prevails again, it's the American way

No wonder we're in debt, why do we have to pay

If the death penalty exists to make these convicts pay

Kill them when convicted instead of awaiting

To wait seventeen years is totally inhumane

The crime has lost its meaning, it's ruthless to be so vain
