Meat Loaf - Execution Day Lyrics






I stare in the mirror
My eyes refuse to blink
Sympathy for me
Hell I can't even think
Send for the iceman, my temperature is startin' to rise
I've heard it before, I know the truth from the lies

Is it any wonder, heaven's racked with thunder
and all of my dreams go under
like the fallin' rain

Execution Day

Voices like locusts keep smothering me
Twistin' and turnin' my senses like a cyclone at sea
Don't touch me now
Won't let you crucify me
You ain't no damn jury
You can't pass sentence on me

Is it any wonder, heaven's racked with thunder
and all of my dreams go under
like the fallin' rain

Execution Day
Execution Day
Execution Day
Execution Day

Whose blood on whose hand
Where's the promsised they preached for this land
Standin' with their bibles clutched in their hand
Whose blood on whose hand
Whose blood on whose hand

[Instrumental bridge]

Father my hand's are shakin'
I see a light that's breakin'
Show me a way to set my soul free
I hope it rains on me
Let it rain on me

Execution Day
Execution Day
Execution Day
Execution Day

Meat Loaf Execution Day Comments
  1. R.... S....

    The lyrics are really deep if you think about it.

    I stare in the mirror, my eyes refuse to blink
    Sympathy for me, hell I can't even think
    Send for the iceman, my temperature is startin' to rise
    I've heard it before 'n I know the truth from the lies
    Is it any wonder heaven's racked with thunder
    And all of my dreams go under like the fallin' rain
    Execution day, execution day (execution day, execution day) execution day
    Execution day
    Voices like locusts keep smothering me
    Twisting and turning my senses like a cyclone at sea
    Don't touch me now, won't let you crucify me
    You ain't no damn jury, you can't pass no sentence on me
    Is it any wonder heaven's racked with thunder
    And all of my dreams go under like the fallin' rain
    Execution day, execution day (execution day, execution day) execution day
    Execution day
    Whose blood on whose hands, where's the promises they preached for this land
    Standin' there with bibles clutched in their hand
    Whose blood on whose hands, whose blood on whose hands
    (Whose blood, whose hands)
    Execution day, execution day
    Father my hands are shakin', I see the light, it's breakin'
    Show me the way to set my soul free, I hope it rains on me
    Let it rain on me
    Execution day, execution day
