The decision’s come down - I will be executed tonight
evidence that they found make the charges impossible to fight
Now the captain is gone - couldn’t even begin to tell you why
please you have to believe me when I say you’ve got the wrong guy

12 hours left they've got me
Locked in this cage

But death won't come to take me now
I'm getting out of here somehow
I'll break my chains
I'll break my chains!
And once I'm free, I'll clear my name
Find out who's actually to blame
They made me do it
I had to do it!

There was blood on my hands - when they caught me running from the law
I could not understand - What’d Happened; the meaning of it all
Now my time has run out - I've been unrightfully condemned
And it's clear to me now - That I'll never see my wife again

9 hours left they've got me
Locked in this cage

But death won't come to take me now
I'm getting out of here somehow
I'll break my chains
I'll break my chains!
And once I'm free, I'll clear my name
Find out who's actually to blame
They made me do it
I had to do it!

6 hours left they've got me
Locked in this cage

But death won't come to take me now
I'm getting out of here somehow
I'll break my chains
I'll break my chains!
And once I'm free, I'll clear my name
Find out who's actually to blame
They made me do it
I had to do it!
