14 years behind these bars, 12 foot square of cold cement I've lost nearly everything for a crime of which I'm innocent For all my sufferings lie in momentary pain While the wait of endless glory still remains to me Dead man walking down the halls between a mess of wood and wire Believe me when I fear to tread towards the thing I most desire For all my sufferings lie in momentary pain While the wait of endless glory still remains Throw the switch on; I know you ain't got a choice The dawn is coming All is well, I will rejoice
