There's a pale horse coming
And I'm going to ride it
I'll rise in the morning
My fate decided
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
In saint james' parish
I was born and christened
I've got my story
Mister, (I) ain't no need for you to listen
It's just a dead man talking
Once I had a job I had a 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 drug 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
Now the clouds above my prison
Move slowly across the sky
There's a new day coming
And my dreams are full tonight
