Dead man walking (overture ii)


They say there was progress
The holy among us
I thought they would lead us through the night
But fear has consumed us
A feeling we can't trust
I hope this will open up their eyes

Stand up before it gets too late
Love now when all is down to hate

So I stare at the sun
And I can't take back, I can't take back the world
And I stare at the sun
And it burns my heart
As I cry I am left with the lie of all of these forgotten ones
And we can't take back just what we did
And we can't take back the things we said
But I'll try to change this world again
Before we lose our hope

Feel like a dead man walking
A dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
A dead man walking

I thought you could hold me
I thought this would show me
That we will live eternal nights
But I can't be bought, no
I won't be taught, no
I have no faith to run back to

Please try before it gets too late
We can choose to end this fate

So I stare at the sun
And I can't take back, I can't take back the world
And I stare at the sun
And it burns my heart
As I cry I am left with the lie of all of these forgotten ones
And we can't take back just what we did
And we can't take back the things we said
But I'll try to change this world again
Before we lose our hope

Feel like a dead man walking
A dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
A dead man walking

Don't smile at me with your sideways two-faced enemy to criticize he said she said
All these years are left for dead
How can we live our lives?
How can we live our lives now?
This is oppression
And where's your goddamn king?
What's missing?

And if you're fed up then rise up from the dirt

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics DEAD MAN WALKING (OVERTURE II) of BLACK VEIL BRIDES is also present in the album Vale (2018)
