Last Walk

On the tightrope I walk
As the executioner talks
"It is your time, today
Prisoner"
Forever will I be haunted
By the acts of my hand
And for those acts
I will be paid
There is nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
My life is at an end
For the predator I am now prey
The lethal injection protocol
Has just begun
Life isn't a war
It can't be won
Even if you pray
Now I learn the penalty
For the man I have become
