No Pardon For Me

I'm sentenced.

and showed no mercy

Sentenced to life in this dank cell

as they read their verdict.

of misery.
Life/Death, what does it matter?
I can see the keyIts all the same in this prison.
it hangs there,
I am but a mere victim,
just out my finger's reach,
the criminal has gotten away,
dangling there in a mock of freedom.
while I do the time
There will be no pardon for me,

for fate's crimes against me.

no stay of this execution.

I can't escape the hounds they'd release,
My life has convicted me

should I attempt escape,

for crimes I did not commit.

for the walls and barbed wires

My penalty meted out.

are too painful to scale

I followed every rule,

and the hounds would scent my fear.

broke no laws,
So I sit here,
have more than paid my fines
waiting...
to society's shun upon me.
waiting for the day they walk me
There was no fair trial,

that longest mile,

no chance for me to plead my case.

waiting for the flow of their poison

The jurors were sent from hell,

to seep within' my veins.

quick to judgement
That lethal injection
that will finally end this misery
of a soul so wrongfully convicted to die.
