During Apartheid-era South Africa it was quite common for the regime to use the death penalty as a way of eliminating or scaring off opposition. That history has largely turned me against capital punishment. This is dedicated to those prisoners-of-conscience who made the ultimate sacrifice!

Death Row (Brian Peters)
See yourself in the water
Feel the grains of sand beneath your feet
Whirling up in form superior
Enthralling me with majesty
Natural is and natural let it be
We live or we die beneath the sacred tree
Life is just a mist
Soon it’s time to go
Spare my little kid
Waiting on Death Row
To each his own and all for all
Provided we can live in honesty
Perversion comes to turn the mind
Away from man’s equality
Natural is and natural let it be
We live or we die beneath the sacred tree
Life is just a mist
Soon it’s time to go
Spare my little kid
Waiting on Death Row
