1. Well they come and pull me from my house
2. And they drag my body through the streets
3. And the sun’s so hot I think I’ll catch fire and burn up
4. in the summer air so moist and sweet
5. And the people all come out to cheer
6. Rocks in the pathway break my skin
7. And there’s honeysuckle on the faint breeze today
8. With every breath I’m drawing in
9. I want to cry out but I don’t scream and I don’t shout
10. And I feel so proud to be alive
11. And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives
12. Crowds grow denser by the second
13. As we near the center of the town
14. And they dig a trench right in the main square right there
15. And they pick me up and throw me down
16. And I start laughing like a child
17. And I mark their faces one by one
18. Transfigurations gonna come for me at last
19. And I will burn hotter than the sun
20. I waited so long and now I taste jasmine on my tongue
21. And I feel so proud to be alive
22. And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives
