Story behind the song
Glynda Duncan wrote this song in regards to patients she has worked with. The lyrics are the complete lyrics, but the song only has up to the first chorus
Lyrics
Man how these walls cry
Spoken: (In a shaky bass driver voice)
Through the years, I've seen many things
Some of which I wish I had not seen
I've seen men come and go
Some go home and some go
Well, you know.
Spoken: (clear voice more mid range driven)
It's a shame it took this
to bring me to my knees.
(sung)
1st Verse
It don’t matter who you are
The roughest, toughest, meanest of men
With all kinds of tattoos
There will come a day, that you too
Will be forced to bend
You know when something’s going down
There's an icy, Wicked chill in the air
and it's thicker than ice
You’ better think twice
Before you show that you’re scared
Pre chorus
it’s seeping through the walls like fingers reaching out for you
stops you in your tracks, afraid to breathe or even move.
Chorus
No one makes a sound
As evil floats around
but, at night
Man, you should see
How these walls cry.
2nd Verse
My Mamma revered the Lord
Said son you’d better be good
Or You’ll go straight to hell;
Well it feels like I am, in this cell
Mamma did what she could
Sometimes; it feels these walls closing in
At Times I swear I here them talkn’
Pacing the floors like a trapped rat
Stuck and can’t find my way back
Spent the last 8 hours walkin’
Pre chorus
When my mamma cried for me I laughed right in her face
Now the wisdom I ignored from her has put me in this place
Chorus
No one makes a sound
As evil floats around
but, at night
Man, you should see
How these walls cry.
Bridge
If I could get out for just one day
You know just what I'd do
I'd get down on my knees
and kiss that woman’s feet.
Tell her I was such a fool
3rd Verse
It doesn't matter who they are
The roughest, toughest meanest men
With all kinds of tattoos
There will come a day that you too
Will be forced to bend
I've seen a man kill another man
just for sitting on his bed
Life means nothin’ behind these bars
Nothin’ like what’s portrayed by movie stars
Blink once wrong and your dead
Pre chorus
yeah, during the day, they all act so tough screaming, cussin’ and fightin’
At night the damned lie stiff as a board like they been struck by lightnin’
Chorus
No one makes a sound
As evil floats around
but, at night
Man, you should see
How these walls cry.
Tag
(spoken in shaky bass driven voice)
I'll be back later tonight Lord,
and we'll pick up where I left off.
