Before the gods read my lifelong sentence

Before I get my share

Before I walk alone

Before they take away my last temptation

Before my heart’s deprived

Before they call my name

On the back fences of my dream line

I never lost my mind

I gave it all

I had To get away with the whole damn big bang

For the right reasons

For what you can’t take back

Until the drums stop beating

Until the crossroads burn out

I ain’t a man until

I’ve done it all

Before my time is up

I’ll hang my name

On every trial

I’m due for

And even if

I can’t get justice

I’ll take you down to hell

Before my time is up

I’ll leave no stone unturned

I won’t regret my actions

And even if my last words fail me

I’ll be a better man

Before my time is up

I believe that the road goes somewhere

Beyond the empty eyes

Beyond the wasted land

When it all fades away to nothing

I wanna know

I tried To take a real hard stand

I gotta laugh at the whole damn big bang

I’ve got to cry sometimes

Got to love somebody

Before they read my lifelong sentence

Before I get my share

Before I go alone

Until the drums stop beating

To where the crossroads burn out

I ain’t a man until

I’ve done it all

Before my time is up

I’ll hang my name

On every trial

I’m due for

And even if

I can’t get justice

I’ll take you down to hell

Before my time is up

I’ll leave no stone unturned

I won’t regret my actions

Even if my last words fail me

I’ll be a better man

Before my time is

Time is Time is up

Even if my last words fail me

I’ll be a better man

Before my time is

Before, before my time is up…
