Fourteen years behind these bars Twelve foot square of cold cement I've lost nearly everything For a crime of which I'm innocent
And all my sufferings lie in momentary pain While the weight of an endless glory still remains... to me
Dead man walking down the hall To meet a mess of wood and wire Lead me to where mean fear to tread Towards the thing I most desire
And all my sufferings lie in momentary pain While the weight of an endless glory still remains So throw the switch on, I know you ain't got a choice The dawn is coming All is well, I will rejoice
