Dead Man Walking
Echoes of Shadows: Unraveling the Mysterious Tale in 'Dead Man Walking'
Lyrics
I was getting by
I was managing to cope with life
when he looked at me
When he directed his gaze towards me
He had a strange look in his eyes
He displayed an unusual expression in his eyes
Something sick, something sweet
Conveying a mix of illness and sweetness
A man came up from behind
A man approached from behind
in the middle of the street
Right in the middle of the street
They walked down into the night
They walked away into the night
And I can say that I've seen
I can confirm witnessing this event
Strange things have happened
Unusual and possibly unsettling events have occurred
is that what people say?
Is that the common expression for such occurrences?
Another dead man walking,
Another person condemned to death,
another one I'll never save
Another life I cannot rescue
I've been up all night
I've been awake throughout the night
trying to get some sleep
Attempting to obtain some rest
Then I lost track of the time
Lost track of time
and now I'm somewhere in between
Now caught in a state between two conditions
Did I really hear him cry?
Did I truly hear him weep?
Or was it really me?
Or was it my own cry?
Maybe they put on the gaslight
Possibly, they manipulated the situation
cause some things should never be seen
Because some things are not meant to be witnessed
Strange things have happened
Unusual and possibly unsettling events have occurred
is that what people say?
Is that the common expression for such occurrences?
Another dead man walking,
Another person condemned to death,
another one I'll never save
Another life I cannot rescue
Dead man walking
Condemned to death
Dead man walking
-Dead man walking
-Another one gone
Another life lost
Dead man walking
Condemned to death
Dead man walking
-Dead man walking
-Another one gone
Another life lost
Strange things have happened is that what people say?
Unusual and possibly unsettling events have occurred
