By the Progress Songtext
von Helldorados

What have you done
Thomas Alva Edison
Did you flick the switch of death
Or was it someone else
A great invention
We wouldn′t call it sick
God bless you Kemmler
Be our little guinea pig

Tonight we'll write
History all night
A spectacle unfolds before your eyes
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
You going to be the first to die
By the progress


My body, heaving chest
All signs of life
They promised me instant peace
I didn′t kill my wife

Tonight we'll write
History all night
A spectacle unfolds before your eyes
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
You going to be the first to die

Tear drop of blood
Foaming like a flood
Technology is a dud
Facedown in the mud
There's life in the old dog... yet

Tonight we′ll write
History all night
A spectacle unfolds before your eyes
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
You going to be the first to die
By the progress
