Dead Man Walking (overture Ii) Lyrics - Black Veil Brides

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 up from the dirt 

Will we fight when we won't have 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 meet 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...
