Dead Man Standing

Intro

Rise up

Rise up from the grave

Verse 1

Fingers claw through cold packed earth

Heartbeat stumbling back to birth

I was buried underneath the lies they fed

Now I'm crawling toward the living instead

Pre-Chorus

Shake the coffin splinters from my skin

Every scar a chapter of where I've been

This hollow chest still knows the drum

Let the dead man sing

Chorus

I'm the dead man walking

Dead man walking through the fire

Nothing in this world can stop me now

Nothing left to lose means nothing left to fear

I'm the dead man

Dead man standing here

Verse 2

Pale hands reaching through the mist

Kissed the void and got a fist

They wrote my name in fading ink and stone

But a ghost can still reclaim a throne

Pre-Chorus

Shake the coffin splinters from my skin

Every scar a chapter of where I've been

This hollow chest still knows the drum

Let the dead man sing

Chorus

I'm the dead man walking

Dead man walking through the fire

Nothing in this world can stop me now

Nothing left to lose means nothing left to fear

I'm the dead man

Dead man standing here

Bridge

Six feet down is just a distance

Six feet down is just a run

Every ending is a doorway

Every setting finds its sun

Breakdown

Wake the silent thunder

Wake the buried choir

Stone and bone and spirit

Climbing ever higher

Chorus

I'm the dead man walking

Dead man walking through the fire

Nothing in this world can stop me now

Nothing left to lose means nothing left to fear

I'm the dead man

Dead man standing here

Outro

Standing here

Standing here

Mm

Mm-hmm
