Dead Men (don't Tell Tales) Lyrics - Singles - The Briggs

With his final chance at liberty 

Prepared to meet his fate 

Too late for introductions 

No longer will death wait 

The way that things can change 

In the brink of your demise 

You never thought in all you're years 

Your truth could tell you lies 

Woah 

With the slightest sense of dignity 

He left his world behind 

Upon his deathbed 

Uncertain what he'll find 

A coward to his heart 

A solider in his mind 

Marching to the battlefield 

To a war that has no time 

Woah 

Trapped behind a wall of shame 

No one can hear your cries 

You find your actions similar 

To the one's that you despise 

Do the bottom of your boots 

Have the blood of other men? 

Or just the dirt from the streets 

Of the city you live in? 

Woah, yeah 

You left your dreams to die 

But they never seem to miss you 

You'd love to tell me why 

But dead men don't tell tales 

Woah
