settling of my every step inching off of the earth
is magnified by the things i've done
the thing that i've become
every lift of my hand coffee cup up and back
is magnified by the things i've done
the things i've seen the things i've caused
i'm a dead man walking
the hammer that i once brung down now hovers over me
cast a shadow, a cross onto me
the hallways are all mocking me
what i've become, they're all mocking me
i'm a dead man walking a dead man walking
a dead man walking
i'm a dead man walking dead man walking
dead man walking
                                                                             

This song is really beautiful, and pretty easy to play. It sounds best acoustic, but it sounds pretty good on electric too.
