Dead Man Walking

There's a pale horse coming

And I'm gonna ride him

I'll rise in the mornin'

My fate decided

I'm a dead man walkin'

I'm a dead man walkin'

In St James' Parish I was born and christened

I've got my story Mister

Ain't no need for you to listen

It's just a dead man talkin'

Once I had a job I had a girl

Between our dreams and actions lies this world

In the deep forest their blood and tears rushed over me

All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun

And my fear up inside of me

Like a dead man talkin'

'Neath the summer sky my eyes went black

Sister I won't ask for forgiveness

My sins are all I have

Tonight the clouds above my prison

They move slowly across the sky

There's a new day

dawnin' and my dreams are full to-night
