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 nameOn 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 backUntil the drums stop beating
Until the crossroads burn out
I ain't a man until I've done it allBefore 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 hellBefore 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 upI 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 standI 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 aloneUntil the drums stop beating
To where the crossroads burn out
I ain't a man until I've done it allBefore 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 hellBefore 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 upEven if my last words fail me
I'll be a better man
Before my time isBefore, before my time is up
