Tighten the Noose

Tighten
The noose
Tighten the noose

Persecuted for what they did not choose
They shall hang by the neck until dead

Tighten
The noose
Tighten the noose

Tighten the noose
Viewers surround the site
Visual feast of suffering
Ew

Witness this public punishment

Gravity takes its toll

Gravity takes its toll
Towards the earth, it pulls
Gravity takes its toll

Towards the earth, it pulls

Circle of onlookers
Circus of suffocation
Breathing restricted
Blood vessels blocked

Constricting your last breath of air
Restricting your last breath of air

Execution with an audience
Alleged infidel or sinner
Traitor of doctrine
"Evil," as they call it

Eyes roll up to the clouds
Feet kicking freely
Dangling humanity
Such an occurrence viewed frequently

Circle of onlookers
Circus of suffocation
Display of strangulation
Showcase of execution

Hoisted above the ground
Jugular vein constricted
Struggling between your own weight and
The noose's
Compression
