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 hearts 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 d*mn big bang
For the right reasons
For what you cant take back
Until the drums stop beating
Until the crossroads burn out
I aint a man until Ive done it all
Before my time is up
Ill hang my name
On every trial Im due for
And even if I cant get justice
Ill take you down to hell
Before my time is up
Ill leave no stone unturned
I wont regret my actions
And even if my last words fail me
Ill 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 d*mn big bang
Ive 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 aint a man until Ive done it all
Before my time is up
Ill hang my name
On every trial Im due for
And even if I cant get justice
Ill take you down to hell
Before my time is up
Ill leave no stone unturned
I wont regret my actions
Even if my last words fail me
Ill be a better man
Before my time is
Time is
Time is up
Even if my last words fail me
Ill be a better man
Before my time is
Before, before my time is up
