Your Time Has Come

One fell asleep in the street and he never woke up

One died in pieces in his bed with a head full of gold

One who threatened me long ago

I saw him Melt in the bright light of day

One laid to rest in a field under starlings and crows

[00:48.90]

[03:21.53][01:53.09][01:39.25][00:50.93]I’ve been wandering sideways

[03:24.81][01:56.43][01:42.47][00:54.16]I’ve stared straight into the sun

[03:28.53][02:00.10][01:45.85][00:57.52]Still I don’t know why you are dying

[03:49.84][03:46.08][03:32.02][02:03.91][01:49.53][01:01.23]long before your time has come

One took some bullets in the chest in a deal gone wrong

One got a little too depressed so he went and jumped the gun

One got shot right in the face and somehow he survived

But he doesn’t know my name or who I am

And I’m not surprised

[02:08.59]your time has come

I’ve seen 50,000 names all engraved in stone

Most of them met an early grave years before I was born

All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind

Most of their family and friends

are still alive and doing time
