Dead Man Walking

Good morning friend, today is the day
A sleepless night is over now
The tower bells toll majestically
Strangle my fear, cold hands on my neck.

Time's running out, it's all in vain
I can feel the pain!

Here is the day I'll end
Blood is still on my hand
Remains from the shades of the past.
God doesn't see me now
You cannot take this vow
There's only one thing I request.

I raise my head towards the threatened sky
Thank you my friend, my companion in life
I'm caught between hope and despair
I think today is a good day to die.

Time's running out, it's all in vain
Think I go insane.

Here is the day I'll end
Blood is still on my hand
Remains from the shades of the past
God doesn't see me now
You cannot take this vow
There's only one thing I request
Walk my last way to it's bitter end
Help me to die!

Now it's over, now it's done
No chance to repent all my lies
In my memories I can see the signs
The sign of pain and agony
The sign of might and glory.

Time's running out, it's all in vain
Think I go insane.

Here is the day I'll end
Blood is still on my hand
Remains from the shades of the past
God doesn't see me now
You cannot take this vow
There's only one thing I request
Walk my last way to it's bitter end
Help me to die!
