Dead Mans Walk

Final moment drawing near
One more meal before the end
Priests prayers said to ease a sinful soul
Last steps of a retched life about to begin

What has caused this fate?
A mistakes built on the foundation of many
One more moment of blinded indifference
Lives ended without a moments thought

Victim of life's unsympathetic musings
Forced into a home of abuse and debauchery
Raised a slave by parental chastisement
Spurned by emotion when finally shown

Murder became a weapon against existence
Smiting those content with what is seen
Lashing out at what was never known
Collecting a debt paid in innocent blood

Now sitting in a darkened cell
Awaiting the stoke of midnight
Reflecting on time all but spent
Eagerly accepting the dead mans walk
