Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro – slow, distorted riff) Heartbeat fading, still I move Breathing dust, nothing to prove They swore I’d fall, swore I’d break Still dragging life in my wake (Verse 1) Ghost in the mirror, eyes sunk deep Haven’t slept, but I don’t sleep Every step feels borrowed time Crossed that line but I’m still mine Blood on the floor, hands still shake Pain’s the only deal I take If this is living on the edge Then I’ll die standing on it (Pre-Chorus) They counted me out and sealed my fate But I never learned how to stay down and wait (Chorus) I’m a dead man walking, but I refuse to fall Every breath I steal is an answer to it all They said I was finished, said I’d never return But I’m still standing here while the world still burns I’m a dead man walking, yeah, I carry the weight I survive every second they thought I couldn’t take (Verse 2) No light waiting at the end Just a fight I won’t suspend Every loss sharpened my teeth Turned my fear into belief Back bent low but I don’t kneel I learned the cost of being real If I’m cursed to walk this line Then I’ll own every step of mine (Pre-Chorus) I’ve brushed the edge, I’ve seen the end But I came back breathing again (Chorus) I’m a dead man walking, still carving my name Through the wreckage, through the fire, through the pain They dug the hole, they swore I’d stay But I climbed out alive and I walked away I’m a dead man walking, heart still loud If this is my end, I’ll face it proud (Bridge – breakdown, half-time) No halo No sign Just rage keeping rhythm with time Say I’m done Say I’m gone I’ve been dead, but I still walk on (Guitar Solo – aggressive, emotional) (Final Chorus – heavier, layered) I’m a dead man walking, and I won’t apologize For surviving the nights that were meant to end my life You can mark my grave, you can speak my name But I’m still breathing while you fade away I’m a dead man walking, and I won’t retreat I was built from the wreckage you couldn’t defeat (Outro – slow, fading distortion) Dead man walking Still breathing
