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…
