Peace finally made with what is to be done Believing to be prepared But the pain is yet to come Led to the street and drug through the mud Flesh savagely removed by red-hot tongs Too weak to stand Bound to a post Incessantly flogged In and out of consciousness Blessings and holy water offerings Tarnished shirt prepared and forced upon Crowd filled with joie de vivre Poor sinners fat to be collected soon Beatings increasе in their intensity Degеnerate declining physically Thinking only of the end There is no fear A noose carefully placed Behind their left ear The body approaches the death throes ever more Chants of repent as the folds open in the floor Crowd pushes to get a closer view of him Gathering nearer while he trembles violently Witnesses to the fall of the leaf Hanging until someone else will do
