I walk to the chamber61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0jaAS8Fhi
Where I will die,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksgfwc5BGM
Head held high—61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8t3TZF8hp
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8G3zbCZII
Tilt my head,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBicVND0pu
And greet the chair61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfDmAFpC2y
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1gz1FmJm5
Straps crossing ribs,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvYJIvd4xt
Twice around my head—61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiQB4MnHt7
I chuckle softly,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KNJ6gW04D
When I was born, I had a cradle.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BPclBRwBS
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QBDcW8rCt
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaYs08cKHO
The parents of those I stole.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hOidJ3LKR
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjIC5hysoL
Watching the clock hands creep,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0Jl1gw8G1
Counting down the moments left61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYrRn2QsVF
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0C6yJNvea
Their hate, their pain,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuFV3zgK5g
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRUXrtvtHI
Holds no more pages.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7AV4JqZPV
I am the final act,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwusraFddbb
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ddHmmeQ0X
Fear in my eyes,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBq31qibPE
To watch me tremble,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jYTsib0Ph
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz8VhXg2ip
Than what I am.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpPOtMBEtl
I will face the storm and see God61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtAsZjaFjc
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA2HJElqvm
“Any last words?” they ask.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLHqV6DgWW
I take a breath,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Wuxm1UaI
A final gift,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecpR6cnc5Z
Before my sins61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX1i3YloGf
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e2msjRZAL
But this moment is not yours—61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwjMG2i6K6
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX7AGxELKb
Curses to ghosts,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E5pQSgKw8
As the switch is thrown.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxDKjItPa7
Lightning rips through me,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxYDCe1WuO
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2JQqTqkY7
Life was worse than death itself—61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxsxyzKHPM
For my father was my monster,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg2npN66lf
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qK6hGrji4
To bury myself deep,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR45HN8QZcl
To never be his prisoner,61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR1XM6t4zB
To finally sleep.
And now—61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBqyVAOCFm
I will never go unheard.
