Thirsty Faces Lyrics

He stands alone on stage

Sweat drops from his forehead

Dripping down on the wooden planks beneath

His hands are numb and cold

His head won't stop spinning

When looks at the crowd ahead of him

Thirsty faces

Never in his life before has he seen so many people

Filling the streets to watch him perform today

The announcer greets the crowd

Making all of them scream and shout

Tension rises and arms are reaching for the sky

He tells himself that he'll do just fine

In front of these joy-torn leather masks

He asks for courage and that's when he starts to sing

There echoes the sound of this haunting verse

Through the now silent rows

Noone dares to speak a word

Just a gentle wind that blows

A man stands up straight

With a mask black as coal

And slowly strides upstage

That's when the crowd again starts to moan

Aroused by the convict's fear and rage

A shiver down his spine

As the rope touches his skin

This is the end of rhyme

Performed is the kill
