Dead Man Walking

my hands are tied up

my head is wired

my soul on fire

tears on her lashes

my thoughts are crashing

falling into ashes

from the day of your birth

you were a bright star losing light

you are a dead man walking

you were doomed right from the start

a weak light in a burning sky

last meal provided

open up the hallway

let the warden guide me

memories returning

my vision is blurring

my mind is burning
