 D             G 
   Locked in a room 
  
 D                G 
   Strapped to an old chair 
  
 D             G 
   Faint musty smell 
  
 D          G 
   Odour of stale air 
  
 D               G 
   Seen from the outside 
  
 D                   G 
   In a cage that is six foot square 
  
 D               G 
   Eyes that are fixed 
  
 D                   G 
   In a glazed, disbelieving stare.

 Cyanide pills 
 Dropped in an acid bath 
 Fall from the clouds 
 As deadly as Death's own spell. 
 Lungs start to burst 
 Trying to hold your breath 
 But have the last laugh 
 Because Earth is just a case if there's not life.
