Killer
Final Hour: Reflections of a Condemned Soul
Lyrics
At midnight, an hour from now... they're gonna flick the switch
Anticipation of imminent execution; reference to an execution method involving a switch.
Down the Hall, beyond the iron door... they're gonna end my life
Location and method of impending death, behind a prison iron door.
I will see you all in Hell, isn't that where we all must go?
Acceptance of going to Hell, a place of punishment in the afterlife.
I will not tell you what I did... It doesn't matter now
Refusal to disclose committed actions, suggesting remorse or indifference.
I will not tell you how weird it is
Indicating the strangeness of the situation or the nature of the deeds.
To know exactly when you're gonna go
Reflection on the peculiar awareness of one's own impending death.
I am a killer
Admission of being a killer, acknowledging wrongdoing.
I'm gonna get what I deserve
Acknowledging the forthcoming consequences and punishment.
I am a killer
Reiteration of being a killer and anticipating the nerve-wracking punishment.
They're gonna fry my each and every nerve
Emphasizing the intensity of the nerve-related punishment.
It is not the soul I sell, it's not the pain from hell
Clarification that the sold soul is not the focus; denying fear of death.
It is not the fear of dying, of that I was never afraid
Rejecting fear of death, asserting fearlessness in the face of impending doom.
I will see you all in hell, isn't that where we all must go?
Repetition of the acceptance of going to Hell.
Gazing at the iron door, while time is slipping away
Observation of the iron door while time passes.
What's really driving me insane
Expressing distress over a perplexing situation.
Is what to do with my final hour
Inner conflict about how to spend the final hour before execution.
I am a killer
Reiteration of being a killer, reinforcing acknowledgment of guilt.
I'm gonna get what I deserve
Expectation of receiving deserved consequences.
I am a killer
Repeating anticipation of intense nerve-related punishment.
They're gonna fry my each and every nerve
Emphasizing the impending severity of the punishment.
I've got less than an hour to kill
Highlighting the limited time to live before execution.
I'm looking back at the life I've had to live
Reflecting on life and expressing regret for its perceived wastefulness.
What a waste, what a mess
Characterizing life as a waste and mess, possibly regretting existence.
I should have never been born,
Expressing a belief that one should not have been born.
I hear them coming down the hall
Awareness of approaching footsteps, signaling the arrival of executioners.
I know they're coming for me
Certainty of being the target and imminent capture.
I don't need that silly Priest
Rejecting the need for religious comfort, suggesting a lack of remorse.
Oh, just get on with the show
Urging the process to proceed without unnecessary delay.
I am a killer
Reiteration of being a killer, reinforcing the acknowledgment of guilt.
I'm gonna get what I deserve
Anticipation of deserved consequences and punishment.
I am a killer
Repeating expectation of intense nerve-related punishment.
They're gonna fry my each and every nerve
Emphasizing the impending severity of the punishment.
It's time
Indicating the commencement of the execution process.
