I walk to the chamber20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKava6oYKg
Where I will die,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KcnDycv7T
Head held high—20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuZG8q3JkZ
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnctino72bP
Tilt my head,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLixKtRi47
And greet the chair20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEsS02Kz7M
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmjV5Mov7l
Straps crossing ribs,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86davNGoH1
Twice around my head—20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VMm4houUm
I chuckle softly,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgQs6wQPXr
When I was born, I had a cradle.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgkMLxKHoS
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9U5HkwqpD
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVob1XJRej
The parents of those I stole.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGGtvBmlAj
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrpqjoGH1X
Watching the clock hands creep,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot0m9L32Bw
Counting down the moments left20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxXLMYuMVP
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgo3H9HOYx
Their hate, their pain,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKeIs6Qqd0
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEYxLdymBD
Holds no more pages.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkMq8Gg7QN
I am the final act,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsKPrkCJJx
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2hdsN066a
Fear in my eyes,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDoOI559cS
To watch me tremble,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH7T5LGXbH
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJEOAi1C3I
Than what I am.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ128qtCD0tx
I will face the storm and see God20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AXxA3182a
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8hfTXq1bK
“Any last words?” they ask.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0NMgzGK2s
I take a breath,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tEV1mkiRn
A final gift,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBveArK6HLj
Before my sins20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRIn8nWLxy
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP9WSA03uO
But this moment is not yours—20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pAc19uMWA
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5PMjC2xFe
Curses to ghosts,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjyFSofpew
As the switch is thrown.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTYyyx8JF
Lightning rips through me,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4V2JA3Zer
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rht0NQJDL
Life was worse than death itself—20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBwUV6xdX1
For my father was my monster,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRXHCjNmRi
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrC5lJVqFG
To bury myself deep,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruXtORbQY6
To never be his prisoner,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvvKagt1yA
To finally sleep.
And now—20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIvmFvgJT8
I will never go unheard.
