Since the band has confirmed that this album is a story and this third of that story is told by Kezia (the condemmed woman) we know that is fact. the interpretation part is what she is thinking before she is executed.
I think this is her last morning. she is walking the "green mile" to the prison backyard (makeshift valley of death from earlier in the album) where she is going to be shot by a 5 guard firing squad containing one guard whos story is told during the middle third of the album.
she is thinking that the death will be fast (bullets dont take their time, they crash through)
she is also wearing prison shoes because in prison they take all your belongings away (that was kinda obvious). she makes a comparison of her shoes to the gunmans lost future, he is thinking of quitting and not executing her, and the priests false religion.
the last line is her final words, she will never regret her choices and is now ready for her punishment. the bells that play at the end symbolize her imminant death.
