And to your indifference
I drag my mangled body
I carry my severed head
And to your magnificence
I've shed my torched skin
This dead outer layer
I have escaped your bow and arrow, my love
I am my own
And I strike with the greatest efficiency
And to this monotony
I trade my full beating heart
With this trembling, bleeding nothing
And in this attempt to go nowhere
I give up my flesh, my only existence
I have traveled this road before, my love
I lead me here
To these gallows I have named.
