The Gallows
The sun's rays beat down on my face a final time;
As i walk to my death the rattling of chains is all I hear;
Walking to my death to answer for all of my crimes;
Coming to realize my reality and that there is nothing to fear;
I have lived far less than a full life;
Regret is all I think of in these final moments;
Step by step towards my doom weighted down by strife;
With all of these feelings coming together in components;
Walking up the steps of the gallows with the crowd before me;
Their cries and cheers of my death is all that is heard;
The final seconds of my life are passing finally;
I look up to see my last sight in the world, a flight of a bird;
The coarse rope is wrapped with fear buzzing in my head;
The final seconds of my life passing through me until I'm dead.
