Death Row Dreams

Written for my brother and friend Charles Mamou JR. who has done over 25 years on death row

[Verse]
Dark nights in a cell something cold
Shadows whisper tales untold
Four walls closing in real tight
Lost my dreams in the endless night

[Verse]
Memories of bullets and blood
Life stained in a crimson flood
Faces haunt me in the dark
No redemption no saving spark

[Chorus]
Years go by in the echo's pain
In this cage where I'm barely sane
Time won't heal these broken sins
Waiting for the end to begin

[Bridge]
Voices screaming in my mind
Justice ain't the easy kind
Solitude eats at my soul
In this nightmare losing control

[Verse]
Clock's ticking toward demise
No sun shining in these eyes
Lethal needle waits for me
In this land where the lost souls be

[Chorus]
Years go by in the echo's pain
In this cage where I'm barely sane
Time won't heal these broken sins
Waiting for the end to begin
