I walk to the chamber62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTkzgk116K
Where I will die,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzS31q0O09
Head held high—62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbNTDysHLm
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0jWC82lao
Tilt my head,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmayQNYv0Ra
And greet the chair62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVFQLWoicd
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcjQItrVPM
Straps crossing ribs,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvjK0STGcy
Twice around my head—62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpMnsYoaaB
I chuckle softly,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWq99S2pdJ
When I was born, I had a cradle.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEDvCRilTb
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOswfEQkXBS
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeXyng7qrA
The parents of those I stole.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI2Jf9gA18
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrxMAooDOd
Watching the clock hands creep,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZUGp69QHB
Counting down the moments left62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD8x01sI8h
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKri0I0UvyI
Their hate, their pain,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAIUE1kjQi
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSD4CQD5Ya
Holds no more pages.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsPT2kBkao
I am the final act,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSQCT3mfO6
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPu96QzcDs
Fear in my eyes,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnDxmPs62G
To watch me tremble,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb38MCLaMe
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTW4nHOwjy
Than what I am.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BeWuw6Utu
I will face the storm and see God62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdXjS2UdkI
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zEa7YWm7C
“Any last words?” they ask.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YwbkweK0q
I take a breath,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxG7vH2pgM
A final gift,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGZ88zfF2c
Before my sins62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmC3mShleJ
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYsf0d2PjY
But this moment is not yours—62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAh3N3v0hJ
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlec3PQb6Zu
Curses to ghosts,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg6jlb8Mjb
As the switch is thrown.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFcTkLXd0G
Lightning rips through me,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PAvibr865
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJxnCDQZJV
Life was worse than death itself—62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoShgY8lirL
For my father was my monster,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdQl0eeR7X
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gzzlcH4Ao
To bury myself deep,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHfoM0csQf
To never be his prisoner,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx98e3UTp6R
To finally sleep.
And now—62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf3568zBA5
I will never go unheard.
