Judas Priest - Death Row [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Dead man walking
We've all been detained
For the crimes we've committed
They stayed execution
But we'll never get acquitted
Waiting for the day when they strap us in
And when they pull the lever
Hear the goddamn screams

[Chorus 1]
Shake with fear
Electric chair

[Verse 2]
We're all inside
Homicide related
They'll show no mercy
And we don't anticipate it
We move a little closer
Every day to meet our maker
They cover up our face
And then they close the circuit breaker

[Chorus 1]
Shake with fear
The end is near

[Chorus 2]
Oh no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to
Death row

[Verse 2]
Oh come on man
Give me a break
I made one mistake, that's all it takes

[Chorus 1]
Shake with fear
The end is near

[Chorus 2]
Oh no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to
Death row
Oh no, they're taking me slow
One way ticket to
Death row

[Verse 3]
So what's the matter, son
Too young to die
Take it like a man
Don't cry

[Chorus 2]
Oh no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to
Death row
Say a prayer, best beware
It's not very nice
In the electric chair

[Chorus 2]
Oh no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to
Death row
Oh no, they're taking me slow
One way ticket to
Death row
