I walk to the chamber54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5wrvS332Y
Where I will die,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHglLBYkg0
Head held high—54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfcAlEFmTX
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgOKW9K9wc
Tilt my head,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYfO6lN58z
And greet the chair54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO2nvjXy7X
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgkDr5eeYp
Straps crossing ribs,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3kECu8rTX
Twice around my head—54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC61zeBguki
I chuckle softly,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI1qzrpI3c
When I was born, I had a cradle.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQkbI4fLwF
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeUgaug7de
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnBChZlJIh
The parents of those I stole.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnI8T09ix0
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ438fWqpskl
Watching the clock hands creep,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP4QHDleTO
Counting down the moments left54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8f41NSGFZ
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8bkuJuavQ
Their hate, their pain,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe9z1OORW7
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjpY8pxE9g
Holds no more pages.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x2Wu6LaJn
I am the final act,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI2m3qaS6q
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqKIvV7QEi
Fear in my eyes,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8iHOD1vgh
To watch me tremble,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3A0kXDDu1
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EQEaLbDyZ
Than what I am.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj9mmp5efz
I will face the storm and see God54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAA18g4cMt
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUnNe4lgCZ
“Any last words?” they ask.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNcTgESSdl
I take a breath,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzkXMwnia0
A final gift,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgUl5PFXjc
Before my sins54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxCdGppsHq
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC03mUjRaB
But this moment is not yours—54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7yeojnVBA
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXgGPBNLJZ
Curses to ghosts,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3MFnAYsOo
As the switch is thrown.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAflOskcfN5
Lightning rips through me,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInXQIwnM7g
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFFvyaj2od
Life was worse than death itself—54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkHVdV6unc
For my father was my monster,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfRqHWLXGd
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Nov4aIGW
To bury myself deep,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhPP7Tw0QD
To never be his prisoner,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Ep063C5y
To finally sleep.
And now—54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwBt6wK6ur
I will never go unheard.
