    Story Behind the Song
    The lyrics to this song came from a name I wanted to use as the band name, Dead Men Walking. After some discussion, we decided that the name was too dark and we would use something else. The line, and the concept behind it stayed with me. This is a tale of immortality. When we are dead, we have only but our legacy to carry us on. When I was presented with the music for this piece, I knew I had found the venue to tell this tale. With the 3/4 beat and almost Celtic rhythm, it allows the tale to unfold. Enjoy – DM

    Lyrics
    The Human Experience

    I came to this world knowing I will leave
    Kicking and Screaming
    Deaf in the dark with no words to speak
    Nothings easy
    And on the journey that is in between
    All walk with me
    Shaking the grave with the thud of our feet
    Dead men walking

    And when they speak my name
    What will they say of me?

    Pass to the boy a tale he may tell
    Time is stalking
    This is the human experience we sell
    Dead man walking

    And when they speak his name
    What will?
    What will they say of him?

    We are all but words others speak
    Long after our flesh grows week
    Here for a moment, forever we sleep
    What will thy say of me?

    And when thy speak my name
    Will they? Will they?
    Will they speak my name?

    We are all but words others speak
    Long after our flesh grows week
    Here for a moment, forever we sleep
    What will thy say of me?
