Lyrics
They say there is 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 has turned 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 words 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 You thought you could hold me You thought this would show me That we will live eternal night 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 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 words 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 and 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 words 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
