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 me 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
And 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 up

Before, before my time is up
