I once spoke to death himself
And he told me
My time has come
An empty body
I shall be
When he claims my soul
Oh, when he claims my soul
I said to him that I was scared
And not prepared
And then he said
That everyone
Eventually
Soon or late must
Go
I do not deserve to die
Within the eyes
Of God I smile
I may be alright
For a while
But I will keep on begging
Yeah, I will keep on beggin'
For more
Why am I the one to take
When do the ones
Who make mistakes
More than I
Can ever make
Go to this unforsaken place?
When will they go?
Guess I'm a dead man walking
Slow
I'm just a dead man walking
Slow
I'm just a dead man walking
Slow
