Ashes fall around, around, I’m ready to believe it
I’ve walked this canyon, followed it down
I hope that you can see it too
Forty days and forty nights I was a dead man walking
For every mile and mountain I climb I am a dead man
Walking back to you
No matter what you say
The fear shall pass away
No matter what you say
I’m a dead man
Across the edge of time
Across this narrow line

Dead man walking
I’m a dead man
(Dead man)
Dead man walking to you
No matter what you say
If life is but a dream then I am lying wide awake
No matter what you say
I’m a dead man
(Dead man)
Dead man walking
I’m a dead man
(Dead man)
Dead man walking
No matter what you say
Yeah, I’m a dead man
