Hands of a criminal holds no regrets 
As they see suffering faces full of fret 
The time has come, the jury may arise 
They raise their voice to share their compromise 
 
Plead guilty or not guilty, we must know 
Plead guilty or not guilty, time to show  
Plead guilty or not guilty, lo and behold 
Plead guilty or not guilty, we have been told 
 
We look around to take our final breaths 
Guilty. the person whose hands have caused deaths 
The convicted will now pay for their sins 
Oh how we’ve achieved this bittersweet win
