Epilogue

I've created my crucifixion, felt the affixation
Circled my own stage, incited the crowd's rage
Called out all my own crimes, defenses sublime
I struck the gavel down hard, followed the path of the bard

The passers-by begin to look
The last move took out my rook
The game played with their advantage
The castle ran by crooks
Their pointing fingers seek out my face
In hopes reveal my disgrace
I won't beg for justice or mercy
Won't play the part adversely

My epilogue is written
But words continue to change
My epilogue is written
In the end no one to blame

Let the punishment fit the deed
At last I'll concede

Weary of the sentence, the scales balancing
My actions are justified, see so ramified
Truth be known and revealed
Official record unsealed

My epilogue is written
But words continue to change
My epilogue is written
In the end no one to blame
