I walk to the chamber82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwihO55y7Bb
Where I will die,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH0WZvSDER
Head held high—82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKI3CVPliy
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pLiumfxLy
Tilt my head,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nCK1FA2KJ
And greet the chair82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvrJNyT0hI
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZBdtIMfHF
Straps crossing ribs,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhheGsAR3mO
Twice around my head—82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzb20tOQWd
I chuckle softly,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW0GraI3p4
When I was born, I had a cradle.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkdGb4Wf6x
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9sMF8c5x4
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs17WKQX91n
The parents of those I stole.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8kmyWj0Mh
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccuNqQNvMS
Watching the clock hands creep,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp2YM7TDVi
Counting down the moments left82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DEX4ACbWE
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0NqRuwMLC
Their hate, their pain,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2xIuqSBiB
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeYzBXtluw
Holds no more pages.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3TnuuwHKa
I am the final act,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3o4PQgztV
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXwMfcr2Hv
Fear in my eyes,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxqbyT0CkO
To watch me tremble,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iu9eRCTxX
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyIWBixOux
Than what I am.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLC4wgdtJk
I will face the storm and see God82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux6P3gB8cX
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHtTHMP6vU
“Any last words?” they ask.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7idDzeEr2S
I take a breath,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9grMMNvRk
A final gift,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUJibpQeQI
Before my sins82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu4jVSmn5f
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9IaofDvaY
But this moment is not yours—82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iKMlKaAhh
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLDyfzBi7X
Curses to ghosts,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaF7BlqAez
As the switch is thrown.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAWP5UPAcN
Lightning rips through me,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY4GrfQG3H
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTR7MjGXk1
Life was worse than death itself—82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJhR4TGeth
For my father was my monster,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZjQq5c5O9
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYeeTcmBSq
To bury myself deep,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WcCH4LgHW
To never be his prisoner,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPE6Oo6wrM
To finally sleep.
And now—82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNZv3oFU4t
I will never go unheard.
