Execution

)I plead for mercy, i see the end is here,
a sorry man before you, humbled by his fear,
black controversy, once blind now I see clear,
my sincerity is true, though my demise surely near,

I wronged the right, hindered their plight,
my selfish ways, misjudged my might,
I owned the sight, I roamed the night,
for all my days, sins burning bright,

alas I call out, spare my life,
and let me serve you, through peace and through strife,
hear me all about, for you I'll strive,
please let me be true, for my son my wife,
ah woe so grant me this, when my head is cast aside,
let all know I recant, I try to save my pride,
my loved ones catch my kiss, look forward be strong and stride,
go back- redeem- I can't, last night for you I cried
