I walk to the chamber56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZEGQQ4f7F
Where I will die,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvtGnc1SDc
Head held high—56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG32SH3h55
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTCDoMb4V2
Tilt my head,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRZKROZEbR
And greet the chair56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNgFwAtuOP
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPdpqfWeLs
Straps crossing ribs,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ0GfvhJje
Twice around my head—56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylc86z4TZS
I chuckle softly,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxOK6AOvQU
When I was born, I had a cradle.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHTIRkBNW0
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T6x8lQ6Sp
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4roRyCEiiC
The parents of those I stole.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkVkQPImRW
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6KGwCwJcN
Watching the clock hands creep,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoLZhAHbxe
Counting down the moments left56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FfzIFKmd2
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmtZpOnqcd
Their hate, their pain,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeRGCtLoT6
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbQ8AINr4a
Holds no more pages.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLQg6n7Nra
I am the final act,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdypdDEOJO
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlbuPZ4rqL
Fear in my eyes,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gIY43oCkB
To watch me tremble,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEIfUfwxAR
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvX7eTfWIa
Than what I am.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa5XkToQcV
I will face the storm and see God56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9WEEqugv5
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU33MHJAQEw
“Any last words?” they ask.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV6viqDMZz
I take a breath,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuF0KWlVNe
A final gift,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbGNJ4RDPk
Before my sins56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vu43ozpBU
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUij9BCoSHI
But this moment is not yours—56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqayB86oqWb
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TLSqRq2Yg
Curses to ghosts,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpe3cy65QN
As the switch is thrown.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCgeZa9j6o
Lightning rips through me,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FHlUBSBsw
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKPh7O9ixD
Life was worse than death itself—56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE1ALEHSOg
For my father was my monster,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFycCM1cbc
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxMp2fPa9s
To bury myself deep,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMFikYxgnu
To never be his prisoner,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqJ0Kr3no5
To finally sleep.
And now—56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMZkslHQ1l
I will never go unheard.
