I sit here now, the thoughts loom about me
An aggressive air of one you can't conceive
A sucking vortex, murder on my breath of an act I won't concede
Rouge dwells there, splattered in the cavern of memories
I sit here now, my doom about me
And I say this to you, justice you won't receive
Because still I won't concede

The author's comments:
This is written in the point of view of a man sitting in the electric chair. Hes talking to the ghost of the people he's murdered, saying that in the whole trial, he never admitted to his murders so through his death, they won't get their justice.
