Lyrics The Green Mile - Astral Doors

The Green Mile

The sentenced:
Forgive me father for I have sinned
Killed another man
Blood upon my hands
I followed the cold winds
Tracked down by the arm of the law
The warder:
Look at the man tou are
We’ll switch off your life, it’s gone too far
From here there’s no escape
And in the death now you’re bound to loose
Your one and only wire
More fuel to the pure
The sentenced:
I’m on the green mile trying to get out
Electrical ride into the light
The warder:
And on the green mile you’ll never be alone
The guards are there beside you
The sentenced:
So read me my last rites
Give me just one sign
Soon I’ve paid my crime
Banished out of heaven
Old sparky will make me go down
And after the monsters ball
The rookie’s prepared to do it all
This is my last goodbye
The executioner;
the lord of might
You are my only saviour
Tried hard to be braver
I’m on the green mile trying to get out
Electrical ride into the light
The Prison Chaplain:
On the green mile you’ll never be alone
An angel flies above you
Green mile
Walk the green mile
Green mile
Use your only wire
More fuel to the pyre
I’m here to die
I’m on the green mile trying to get out
Out of the cell, into the light
On the green mile you’ll never be alone
The guards are there beside you
I’m on the green mile trying to get out
Electrical ride into the light
And on the green mile you’ll never be alone
Now electrified, the lightning ride
Walk the green mile
