I walk to the chamber60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1SRcja7j9
Where I will die,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmlmJp6J9l
Head held high—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSKF0u8Uy2
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6XWkdkluX
Tilt my head,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRiNma5utm
And greet the chair60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiI9YzTO2I
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBye6sdiLiz
Straps crossing ribs,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa8QellWYQ
Twice around my head—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p7kxEYTZO
I chuckle softly,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuOW95RTdi
When I was born, I had a cradle.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWipzVqFTOo
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4z9uxRvRW
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jxmFiMdzy
The parents of those I stole.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhIOlXG8QQ
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJFMs4jeYw
Watching the clock hands creep,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBKPO1Pv94
Counting down the moments left60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9raUeAZ0dF
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhACPiZA8l
Their hate, their pain,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI1Ccoh8wI
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY589YTHkQF
Holds no more pages.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk8PBZXQcw
I am the final act,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJtIcbrZQb
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteM0q8en9y
Fear in my eyes,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2wm3HCzsb
To watch me tremble,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl6gf4sWBp
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzdvy3nDRs
Than what I am.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xf2de7Xnc
I will face the storm and see God60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WBNDRPXpf
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0vysfL2tA
“Any last words?” they ask.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUHGfvrysc
I take a breath,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqlytLoduO
A final gift,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hun8Ok0Ph
Before my sins60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFu9U89B1c
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03gBkRmqya
But this moment is not yours—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcm8vpYeqd
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtLSZARHwT
Curses to ghosts,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZY94X55Ns
As the switch is thrown.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRnMlPpuEr
Lightning rips through me,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6tVAInitB
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQABAm0ZqM1
Life was worse than death itself—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPkHcCZv7s
For my father was my monster,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSfupWdetL
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSh1B4rMC9
To bury myself deep,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGI6wcFHIT
To never be his prisoner,60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93nN6CNqie
To finally sleep.
And now—60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOSu8F7n5T
I will never go unheard.
