Verse 1 Down the muddy cobblestones To the scaffold I am led, And the furious crowd that roams Hurls its hatred at my head. Spittle flies into my face, Stones are thrown to mark my trace. "What have you brought to see the show?" All are drunk with rage - I know.
Chorus 1 "Do you want my blood?" I cry, "Now you"ll get it, don"t deny! Soon the block will run with red, You can hardly wait", they said - "Hurry up!"
Verse 2 Down the muddy cobblestones To the scaffold I am led, The wild crowd, like stormy seas, Rises high upon the breeze. You have brought your children here To watch the execution near - Let them learn what odds appear When you"re lone, not in the clear.
Bridge Then the roar is cut with fright, A shrill falsetto screams so tight: "Execute!" "Execute!" "Execute!"
Verse 3 Down the muddy cobblestones To the scaffold I am led, And the frenzied crowd, unbound, Raves and rages, lost and drowned. Human faces disappear, Only mouths that howl in fear - They have no real cause to blame, But they shout it just the same:
Chorus 2 The mob is cheering, loud and wild, Their eyes devour me, cruel and mild. The crowd"s a beast, both ravenous and bold, They can hardly wait, I"m told - "Hurry up!"
Verse 4 Down the muddy cobblestones To the scaffold I am led, And the furious crowd once more Gathers for a blood‑soaked chore. Each one, standing on his own, Fears to walk the path I"ve shown - Fears to speak the truth out loud, For each one wants to live, proud.
Verse 5 And tomorrow, from the throng, Someone will be dragged along - By fate"s will, to the same road, Down the stones, where screams erode. "Execute! Execute! Execute! Execute!"
Outro The mob is quick to cast its blame On crimes that make no sense or name, When fear is ruling, whispers flame - No more people here remain. "Execute!" "Execute!" "Execute!" "Execute!"
