Lost Traveler

Let's pretend      
I traveled over a bend      
I went back in time      
For no reason or rhyme      
     
To be caught and tried      
For someone else's lie      
My sentence was death    
Uttered under someone's breath      
     
I will not go easy into the night      
Once the moon is full I will see the whole site      
There are men, women, children and aged souls
All out to see the penalty dolled      
     
I'll be the last to go      
Making me witness this horrible show      
     
One was stretched until every bone cracked      
The crowd cheered as she ripped in half      
     
The second was a beauty      
For every man to see      
That's why she was hung      
Making lovers weep in misery      
     
The last was me      
The traveler lost in time      
Convicted for asking a question      
Something I forget to mention      
     
The torture was a wicked thing      
They cut out my tongue as they sang      
Then shoved me in the center      
Of a patch of dark mud      
Realizing it's quicksand rising above      
     
When I couldn't see the moon      
Or breathe in the air      
I awoke from the sleep      
Wishing, mummy was there
