Thomas Jaques - Execution Lyrics

What do you do in a time like this
When they call you by name, and it can't be dismissed
What do you in a time like this
When you've fought so long, and you're tired of it
What do you do in a time like this
When your friends are all dead, and your head has been rigged
When your purpose fades, you've lost the raid
What do you do in a time like this

What do you do in a time like this
When you need to step up, but you wanna resist
What do you do in a time like this
When your rogue routine is deemed unfit
What do you do in a time like this
When the drums beat heavy, and they levy your slits
If you stay on the hill, you'll die every day
What do you do in a time like this...

When the axe comes down
I'm right above you holding it
When your head flies off
There'll be nothing but esophagus
Caved with words you don't the meaning of
You'll let it rip you up
The axe, it regulates us

What do you do in a time like this
When you run towards heaven just to kill all ties
What do you do in an age where rage blinds, blinds
Baby what do you do in a time like this
Turn around, look over and catch my eyes
You know how this goes, and it can be done
But don't rely on me just to become someone

When the axe comes down
I'm right above you clutching it
And when your head flies off
There's nothing left to ponder it
That's all you get, your story's done through
Glory to the few
But maybe I don't end you

What do we do in a time like this
We could run so far, it's a crime if we stop
What do we do when our causes burn on and on
Baby what do we do in a time like this
When our apathy turns into new reverberations
So halt your damnation
Cuz we know what to do in a time like this

When the axe comes down
I'm right above you dropping it
Cuz when your tongue pops out
It stains the floor with homonyms
Of the war you started in your mind
And you'll be played unkind
But the axe won't get you this time
(Break it down!)

But here's the thing, love
This whole ordeal don't go one way
You can take my pride
You can have my loyalty
You can rule my world
Just don't leave me

When the axe comes down
I'm right above you rigging this
Shocking masses by the millions with resistance
You and I, in a battle for the hill
And a city to kill
And if you don't, you know I will
