I walk to the chamber65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOKxC3nsv3
Where I will die,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntNX2GgfbF
Head held high—65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkGcO7VA8G
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK9ImQ74hx
Tilt my head,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgdJccH5Sj
And greet the chair65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7paoqtVAAT
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8O6MKU6es
Straps crossing ribs,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4ElXxPLzy
Twice around my head—65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2U24wsOcc
I chuckle softly,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bw5qf47nr
When I was born, I had a cradle.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBzTYJmolS
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA61gJK7pv
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuphL4uBiDP
The parents of those I stole.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2TOxSYWfA
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgKyl96WXW
Watching the clock hands creep,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU4NtTVJko
Counting down the moments left65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfW7ADPWSJ
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PLv2Tfsq8
Their hate, their pain,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeifmXaqqYj
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQtZJKkERV
Holds no more pages.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DuCUFVhxr
I am the final act,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cuheRNVyS
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf37AZWs2Wr
Fear in my eyes,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8eYo4CowW
To watch me tremble,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4hAJrNkDQ
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xjMZPbcyS
Than what I am.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hvm9fHhqT
I will face the storm and see God65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCayVUgF4bf
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV8qE2DWJ7
“Any last words?” they ask.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ3mvzwBYQ
I take a breath,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bOWqNS01i
A final gift,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5BQLowzFR
Before my sins65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc6mlLlvn6
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hSQk9Xdt5
But this moment is not yours—65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEn3fyG4a3
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5W2NdCWpV
Curses to ghosts,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIXAy8I4CK
As the switch is thrown.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfx8XV6J2U
Lightning rips through me,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n5Obiz3xI
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFstrt9Rn3
Life was worse than death itself—65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRXNJ0X55W
For my father was my monster,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ1gdGvyEm
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhfHLDOGCt
To bury myself deep,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr1FV4g0sk
To never be his prisoner,65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACmFT7EaGn
To finally sleep.
And now—65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBoSUj19tI
I will never go unheard.
