Lyrics:
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

@Ricky3417 I was thinking the exact same thing. That's the image that first popped into my head.
-
the ending is simply stunning. the carthasis im going through everytime i listen to it is incredible. so full of hope.
-
I think the net lyric sites have a few inaccuracies for W&W (at least based on what came out of production):
"Lead me to where *men* fear to tread" - makes much more sense...
This next one is admittedly hard to tell, but I like this interp better...
"Throw the switch *son*, I know you ain't got a choice..." The "son" makes it clear who he's referencing in "I know *you* ain't got a choice", kindof hints at that "green-mile" relationship between jailer & jailee...
Regardless, killer song.

(8) 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
.. How beautiful is that!!!

This song is so sad and beautiful, it really makes me want to cry. It could just be a coincidence, but it sounds like the inspiration for this song came from the character John Coffey from Stephen King's "The Green Mile." Thrice is the most brilliant band ever.
