Six Minute War - Last Drop

LAST DROP
The days of the rope are coming back.
One hour twitching with a face turned black,
strong men weep
the keepers of the law.
See a last meal all over the floor.
Pierrepoint's sacred realm
at the depths of Hell.
It was he who faced them last.
Crying in the death cell.
Their misdeeds now to be punished.
Hanging by the neck,
but the killing of one man
will never bring another one back
as the eyes bulge
out of his head
and the twitching fades away
Another corpse hangs dead
and the hypocrites pray.
They pray for a world peace
and they pray for a world without crime.
Yet they still kill thousands
in their aimless wars and get away with it every time.
As guts and blood pour over the land,
as banners fly and hymns are sung.
The victors take justice swiftly to hand
and so-called criminals are hung,
but if they murder for God and Country
or kill in a bank robbery
they are one and the same to me.
One and the same to me.

Some talk of the rope's return,
some people never learn,
but if the rope will quench their righteous thirst
I know who should be hung first.
