🎧 *Song description*

This dark and haunting song explores the psychological toll on an executioner, trapped by the echoes of the lives he's taken. Burdened by guilt and the relentless sounds of death, he grapples with his role in the grim machinery of justice. Descend into the depths of his tormented mind and experience the chilling reality of his existence.

🎶 *Lyrics*

_Iron bars, a cage for the living, a frame for the soon-to-be-gone_
_Each sunrise a countdown, a sentence already drawn_
_Their eyes, hollow pools reflecting the void they'll soon embrace_
_Their breaths, numbered whispers, lost in this godforsaken place._

_The gavel falls, a final thud on wood, pronouncements cold and stark_
_This machinery of death, a symphony of sorrow, and I, the patriarch_
_The air ignites, lead kisses flesh, a fleeting, crimson bloom_
_Another soul reaped, another life extinguished in the execution room._

_But the sound, it lingers, a phantom percussionist in my mind_
_The metallic shriek, the explosive crack, forever intertwined_
_It seeps into my dreams, a sonic parasite I cannot outrun_
_Each pulse a hammer blow, each breath a countdown to the gun._

_The city sleeps, oblivious, a world apart from this grim domain_
_While I, the jailer of echoes, am forever bound by this bloody chain_
_A car backfires, a door slams shut, mundane sounds pierce the night_
_But all I hear is the echo of the gunshot, burning eternally bright._

_I am the warden of this echoing tomb, the keeper of this morbid shrine_
_Haunted by the specters of the condemned, their final moments, eternally mine_
_Their faces blur, their names fade, lost in the deafening roar_
_Only the echoes of the shots remain, forever pounding at my door._

_Is this my penance? This ceaseless torment, this symphony of despair_
_To forever wear the weight of their deaths, a burden too heavy to bear_
_Will I too face the muzzle's cold kiss, feel the bullet's searing sting?_
_And in that final, echoing silence, will I finally find my release, my unburdening?_
