Dead Man Walking - The Sixpounder

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
