The Final Walk

[Intro] The final walk is shorter than I dreamed [Verse 1] The hallway's long, or so it always seemed The witnesses are standing in a row And I'm learning how to go [Pre-Chorus] The door is near, the light is bright I'm ready for the night [Chorus] I am the footsteps and the fall The one who gave it all I am the doorway and the key The one who's finally free [Verse 2] The gurney's cold, the straps are very tight The chaplain says a prayer into the night The needle's in, the poison's very warm And I'm leaving every storm [Pre-Chorus] The door is near, the light is bright I'm ready for the night [Chorus] I am the footsteps and the fall The one who gave it all I am the doorway and the key The one who's finally free [Bridge] [Guitar Solo] The ceiling's fading, but I'm not afraid And I'm learning how to greet the life I made [Chorus] I am the footsteps and the fall The one who gave it all I am the doorway and the key The one who's finally free [Outro] The final walk is shorter than I dreamed And I'm finally redeemed
