Lyrics Dead Man Walking - The Sixpounder

Dead Man Walking

I opened my eyes into the darkness
I could only see the cold
my breath was running out of my chest
as if being chased
by a hunter from the world that I left long time ago
the past came back to hunt me
just like it did before
my greatest enemy has found me
like he promised he would do
he told me to go with him
that it was my time
that I had my chance in life
but that I’ve crossed the line
he stepped in
stood right by my side
the chills ran down my spine
as he prepared for the attack
he looked at me with surprise when I dodged his scythe
he said don’t fight me son I only came to bring you back
So I was scared, petrified couldn’t think straight
nothing made sense to me anymore
I told myself that all this took place right inside my mind
felt that I would never have the chance to make it right
I knew I was closer to the end (finally)
yet all this fear and all this horror made me realise
that it would be the end of me unless I take the stand
and feel it
on nights like these I feel so much better
on the outside I am so alive
on nights like these I look so much better
it don’t matter cause I’m
killed inside with nothing on my mind
step aside
it’s dead man walking
now I fight, I try to find my way out
but nothing seems to work out for me
it drowns me every single.
DAY, don’t go
I feel so much better knowing that the end is near
I won’t throw away the given chance this time
I won’t surrender, I will carry on until I
will get old fragile weak
no will power or energy to go on living
then I’ll be
killed inside with nothing on my mind
step aside
it’s dead man walking
now I fight, I try to find my way out
but nothing seems to work out for me
killed inside with nothing on my mind
step aside
it’s dead man walking on a thin red line
you can’t save me
you can’t save me this time
