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.
