I watched them bury a dead man alive
It wasn't if he stood a chance to survive
I watched them crucify gods only son
It wasn't if he payed for what he'd done
I walked to the city to forget my sins
I found some new ones that were the trouble begins
If you start in the gutter there no lower to go
That's what I figured before I sunk further below
These dead man blues
These dead man blues
These dead man blues
These dead man blues
I climbed the mountain that broke through the trees
Looked to the distance and found my disease
I searched the land to find a cure
But all I discovered made me worse than before
I came to the valley that belonged to the kings
But all there riches were worthless things
No man is an island but I've learned to ignore
The people around me and all they stand for
These dead man blues
These dead man blues
These dead man blues
These dead man blues
