The Green Mile

The sentenced:

Forgive me father for I have sinned

Killed another man

Blood upon my hands

I followed the cold winds

Tracked down by the arm of the law

The warder:

Look at the man you are

We'll switch off your life, it's gone too far

From here there's no escape

And in the death now you're bound to loose

Your one and only wire

More fuel to the pure

The sentenced:

I'm on the green mile trying to get out

Electrical ride into the light

The warder:

And on the green mile you'll never be alone

The guards are there beside you

The sentenced:

So read me my last rites

Give me just one sign

Soon I've paid my crime

Banished out of heaven

Old sparky will make me go down

And after the monsters ball

The rookie's prepared to do it all

This is my last goodbye

The executioner; the lord of might

You are my only saviour

Tried hard to be braver

I'm on the green mile trying to get out

Electrical ride into the light

The Prison Chaplain:

On the green mile you'll never be alone

An angel flies above you

Green mile

Walk the green mile

Green mile

[Solo: Haglund]

Use your only wire

More fuel to the pyre

I'm here to die

I'm on the green mile trying to get out

Out of the cell, into the light

On the green mile you'll never be alone

The guards are there beside you

I'm on the green mile trying to get out

Electrical ride into the light

And on the green mile you'll never be alone

Now electrified, the lightning ride

Walk the green mile
