Jaturanan Siripongs was executed by the State of California in February 1999.

Even the guards on San Quentin's Death Row believed he should be spared.

lyrics

Song for Siripongs

I didn’t want you to know
the pricking of the needle’s tongue
I didn’t want you to know
that drift into oblivion

ohohoh

Your prison garb swaying like a saffron robe
scent of sandlewood drifting from your fingers

I sing this song 'cause I don’t know how to save you
we stand now accused... oh, your gentle Buddha’s smile
