Dead Man Walking (Overture II)

They say there was progress

The holy among us

I thought they would lead us through the night

But fear has consumed us

A feeling we can't trust

I hope this will open up their eyes

Stand up before it gets too late

Love now when all is down to hate

So I stare at the sun

And I can't take back, I can't take back the world

And I stare at the sun

And it burns my heart

As I cry I am left with the lie of all of these forgotten ones

And we can't take back just what we did

And we can't take back the things we said

But I'll try to change this world again

Before we lose our hope

Feel like a dead man walking

A dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking

A dead man walking

I thought you could hold me

I thought this would show me

That we will live eternal nights

But I can't be bought, no

I won't be taught, no

I have no faith to run back to

Please try before it gets too late

We can choose to end this fate

So I stare at the sun

And I can't take back, I can't take back the world

And I stare at the sun

And it burns my heart

As I cry I am left with the lie of all of these forgotten ones

And we can't take back just what we did

And we can't take back the things we said

But I'll try to change this world again

Before we lose our hope

Feel like a dead man walking

A dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking

A dead man walking

Don't smile at me with your sideways

Two-faced enemy to criticize he said she said

All these years are left for dead

How can we live our lives?

How can we live our lives now?

This is oppression

And where's your goddamn king?

What's missing? (What's missing?)

And if you're fed up then rise out from the dirt

Will the fight that we once had retreat?

Just a hole where your heart used to be

The nation fades away and the aftertaste is bitter

Will the ghost that haunts stand for this song?

We have nothing for this pain, ignorance to true gain

We can run away and build a wall of isolation, desperation

But they won't be there to answer the call

Who is left now to catch your fall?

They won't be there, they won't be there

They won't be there, they won't be there

We're drowning, we're drowning

And I'll be the constant reminder of what life should have been

We're drowning, we're drowning

I feel alone living in a nightmare

Feel like a dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking

So I stare at the sun

And I can't take back

I can't take back the world

And I stare at the sun

And it burns my heart

As I cry I am left with the lie of all of these forgotten ones

And we can't take back just what we did

And we can't take back the things we said

But I'll try to change this world again

Before we lose our hope

Feel like a dead man walking

A dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking

A dead man walking
