Story Behind the Song
The ultimate Punishment for a convict with a death wish? He's left to rot in a cell.
Lyrics
Dead Man Walking
(by Devin, Adam Weber)
I exist in time,here on death row
Awaiting the time I am scheduled to die
They keep me alive, awake and sustained
Continuous refusal to let me retire
My Cold Blooded wish To Destroy mankind
I was guided by voices inside my mind
I now habitat, my world, my cell
I am living dead awaiting hell
Chorus
Stare at my face I am the dead man walking
Look in my eyes See fire in my gaze
My last rites are read
I pray for lethal injection
Death no disgrace, to a Dead Man Walking
Their crime, my time
Awaiting demise
It was all worth the sacrifice
Constantly watched
Eternally lost
It's my death I'll pay consequence
I see not the moon,
Nor feel the warmth of the sun
This concrete cave
I am forsaken, and Shunned
To the core of my fiber,
my hatred still seethes
Infinite understanding,
of my sinister deeds.
Repeat Chorus
