The prisoner number nine is about to confess
He is locked in the cell with the prison priest
And before dawn, his life will be taken
Because he killed his wife and a disloyal friend
He says this while confessing
I killed them, yes sir
And if I were to be born again
I would kill them again

Father, I do not repent
Nor am I afraid of eternity
I know that up in heaven
The supreme being will judge us
I will follow her steps
I will seek her even beyond

Oh

The prisoner number nine was a very upright man
He was walking happily in his hut at night
But upon seeing his love in the arms of his rival
Resentment burned in his chest and he couldn't hold back
At the sound of the bugle, the squad was formed
They were going to the firing squad, he only managed to say

Father, I do not repent nor am I afraid of eternity
I know that up in heaven the supreme being will judge us
I will follow her steps, I will seek her even beyond

Oh
