I walk to the chamber63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQIqxu8I7r
Where I will die,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWvqwEKdmt
Head held high—63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdv4zRGwHk
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJHzwo9u3v
Tilt my head,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmD2CW9xwK
And greet the chair63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDYl8RyuNl
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN5V7sBZle
Straps crossing ribs,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkWStZ7qDq
Twice around my head—63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHYmLKEf5o
I chuckle softly,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKigYyIlFO
When I was born, I had a cradle.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTzC9ywUhQ
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KYOwVGIjY
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3KsQtXmpc
The parents of those I stole.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACdV8i08Zf
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Ko1qUOe1
Watching the clock hands creep,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80R0PEkVJU
Counting down the moments left63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfyC0y5nCt
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyuKwUSwvl
Their hate, their pain,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagNRLhQdS8
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDc4yswHF3
Holds no more pages.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eP9fuqSX9
I am the final act,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs3hj4JpQv
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL6gDO7M1F
Fear in my eyes,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX6twiRTaR
To watch me tremble,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuLYl9VsBl
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ233XqmEOmf
Than what I am.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXVwzJsnE1
I will face the storm and see God63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2LG5I6rGK
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27GWgPTPcq
“Any last words?” they ask.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeXWEz0qrF
I take a breath,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1rnc8GiYc
A final gift,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GGA3SB1hL
Before my sins63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspbeHF6oj2
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38jd14GgOu
But this moment is not yours—63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbGfcdnzjX
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o5pW8gN2J
Curses to ghosts,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzL3fc6h3g
As the switch is thrown.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjohzaersOF
Lightning rips through me,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlQYnK4X4c
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6SjNrbY6r
Life was worse than death itself—63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmuqgth8Tc
For my father was my monster,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIMQa9bDwv
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qCvGEVLD6
To bury myself deep,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJRqCzFXJU
To never be his prisoner,63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f80tCfw5T
To finally sleep.
And now—63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0up8iPuE8
I will never go unheard.
