With a dissatisfying taste in my mouth, I swallow what's left of my pride, as I am fed my last meal

Remember how I claimed to be less than a pious being?

You can now leave me father, no words could excuse me now

No words could excuse me now

Each Iron bar holds a secret meaning, given during my time here

Each Iron bar holds a different face, tarnished before my time here

The once feared "man dressed in black", now a symbol of anticipation

My only regret, not being able to ride my soul of these minacious voices

With time they have grown, colder pushing my ego to an intense solstice

When they come for me, I will not fight

I am ready to go in peace, the time is right

I was foolish to believe, that I could single-handedly save humanity

The sacrifice was offered long before I was conceived

But beware, where I failed. Someone will inevitably succeed

Someone will succeed

My legs and arms are now braced tightly

I feel my pulse through theses shackles

Frail and frigid I lay, hopelessly on the confines of the silver table known to me as my death bed

Slowly losing control, growing number

My eyes close

I bid myself farewell

As to those whose lives were lost on the account of these homicides, the sacrifice was offered long before I was conceived

I was conceived
