There′s a pale horse comin′
I′m gonna ride it
I′ll rise in the mornin
With my fate decided
I′m a dead man walkin′
I′m a dead man walkin′
In St James Parish
I was born and christened
Now I′ve got my story
Mister no need for you to listen
It′s just a dead man talkin′
Once I had a job, I had a girl
But between our dreams and actions
Lies this world
In the deep forest
Their blood and tears rushed over me
All I could feel was the drugs and shotgun
And my fear up inside me
Like a dead man talkin′
′Neath the summer sky my eyes went black
Sister I won′t ask for forgiveness
My sins are all I have
Now the clouds above my prison
Move slowly across the sky
There′s a new day comin′
And my dreams are full tonight
