[00:00:00] Damien Echols Death Row Letter, Year 16 1/2 - Johnny Depp/Nick Cave/Warren Ellis

[00:00:00] Written by：Nick Cave/Warren Ellis/Jake Jackson

[00:00:00] Today

[00:00:02] The guards made me bleed again

[00:00:07] They chained my feet

[00:00:09] So tight

[00:00:12] I could barely move

[00:00:17] I bleed through my socks

[00:00:22] Last month it was my left ankle

[00:00:26] Today it was the right

[00:00:32] When I wash

[00:00:34] The soap burns like fire

[00:00:40] But I have to keep my ankles clean

[00:00:44] Because I don't have any alcohol

[00:00:46] Or peroxide

[00:00:49] Nothing to kill the bacteria or infections

[00:00:55] And this place is filthy

[00:01:02] I can't remember

[00:01:04] What it's like

[00:01:09] To walk as a

[00:01:10] Human being anymore

[00:01:14] My cell is so small

[00:01:18] That I can only take

[00:01:19] Two steps

[00:01:24] Anytime I'm brought out

[00:01:27] However briefly or infrequently

[00:01:31] I have chains on my hands and feet

[00:01:36] As well as guards hanging on me

[00:01:41] Been well over 16 years since I've actually walked anywhere

[00:01:49] Sometimes I still can't wrap my mind around that

[00:01:56] I'm working on my 17th year now

[00:02:02] There were times when I thought

[00:02:04] Surely

[00:02:07] Someone's gonna put a stop to this

[00:02:11] Surely someone

[00:02:13] Is gonna do something

[00:02:19] But they never do

[00:02:23] Time just rolls on

[00:02:27] It's insanity

[00:02:31] I am truly amazed

[00:02:34] At what they've been allowed to

[00:02:35] Get away with

[00:02:38] And for how long

[00:02:46] Ah well

[00:02:48] Does no good to dwell on it

[00:02:53] Either I waste my energy by focusing on things I

[00:02:55] Cannot change

[00:02:58] Or I conserve my energy

[00:03:01] And apply it to small

[00:03:01] Things I can change

[00:03:07] That's what the I ching calls

[00:03:11] The taming power

[00:03:14] Of the small
