I walk to the chamber55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMjVye83Um
Where I will die,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAET9RBFo0
Head held high—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vm18z8rMS
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6smZazUPk
Tilt my head,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ntZ9oo6y
And greet the chair55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhd9x2KEHb
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OB5GwjHIY
Straps crossing ribs,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9DMvIvOlM
Twice around my head—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV87da7R5E
I chuckle softly,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRK1ID6AF5
When I was born, I had a cradle.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPKYErmqRe
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPfEYIpT0E
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc152Xmc3C3
The parents of those I stole.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8h7dzziHw
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHBNJquCSk
Watching the clock hands creep,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4cuckKmWI
Counting down the moments left55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlTsUvv8xj
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRkml7vhoe
Their hate, their pain,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR8CrsBeL0
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZuIrSnu0x
Holds no more pages.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0QEz0uoyN
I am the final act,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcRSoiy5Se
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBBr48h4pu
Fear in my eyes,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tyrLGHt1x
To watch me tremble,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkrDse5r0c
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbjc1WbTx6
Than what I am.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pJr3NgOTe
I will face the storm and see God55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqPQoOaFgN
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfu9XVC1uu
“Any last words?” they ask.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb12xgG8s5r
I take a breath,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jn0hm7uVB
A final gift,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2vfb5Lqq4
Before my sins55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomSX67EGc6
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi0N0uZpYt
But this moment is not yours—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS7oCyBl4k
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGpPltjyQB
Curses to ghosts,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlNZG5GDac
As the switch is thrown.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjAKhpyaCb
Lightning rips through me,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLalq5gmU81
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHziw6AhQ45
Life was worse than death itself—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbLAXX9H4y
For my father was my monster,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvplUaqrpyl
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2REfjkgfF
To bury myself deep,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNTMhL2tCC
To never be his prisoner,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv95Ffao4nq
To finally sleep.
And now—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN9S9JzsQX
I will never go unheard.
