mercy seat

The Electric Chair. Used in the electrocution of a prisoner sentenced to death by law.

"And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this weighing of the truth.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die."

The Mercy Seat
Johnny Cash
