a man , an outlaw , 
deadliest of all his reign
 was caught on the night 
of december 12 , 1898 . 
the man himself only twenty 
four , but he had more 
notches on his pistol 
than anyone before him . 
now he relives the echo
 of his death , caught in the
 vicious cycle of his neck 
snapping in the gallows . 

a choking , tear jerking
 sound of his last pain
 filled breath . but all the
 people were cheering , for
 they found enjoyment 
in his suffering . he had
 killed far too many women , 
children , and men for him
 to get redemption . and
 unbeknownst to them , while 
his body rot in the rope , 
the echo of his death
 had been saved in fate .

---

so when you , a
 damned soul like his , 
hear the click of a 
lever , you best not turn
 around . 'cause
 if you do , you'll see
 the last few moments
 of life the outlaw did . 
over , and over , and 
over again . 

--- 

save him from his echo .
