The Executioner

Gotye, Kris Schroeder

[Verse 1]
Plead for my life
And I plead for my soul
I've been walkin' death row
And I do believe my time is up
She waits at the gate for me
Tightens the noose 'round my neck
And I can't believe this really is the end
Of all the hopes and dreams we had
Before the world came in and stole them all away

[Chorus]
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner

[Verse 2]
"Sit down," she said
"I've got somethin' to say
I've been patient with you
But I don't believe you'll ever change
I've made my choice
Yeah, I made up my mind
And there'll be no remorse
And I'm sorry, but the time has come
And, yeah, we had a lot of fun
But I really have to do what's right for me"

[Chorus]
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
You don't have to do this
You can spare my life
You don't have to whip me
I don't wanna die

[Chorus]
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner, oh

[Verse 3]
Plead for my life
And I plead for her love
And I'm screaming inside
But it just comes out a whimper
Her eyes are so cold
As she speaks out her sentence
And she kicks out the box beneath my feet
And I fall forever

[Chorus]
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
