Before You Die lyrics

Lyrics

Porcelain and alabaster, decaying' ever faster
Unaware of imminent disaster open up
Your eyes

As you ruminate the hopeless sands of time
Did you wander out your days lost and resigned?
Or recreate the universals in your mind?

Everybody is a bastard; my world is like plaster
Crumbling apart from pressure of the blaster
Waiting for a sign

And the momentary pleasures take their turn
As a wistful boy runs out of things to learn
The episodes of yore are never to return

Scare up some hope
You're gonna need it just to cope
You are the decision, numbers don't lie
When you bite the dust
Was it for purpose all for trust?
You'll never relive it
Think before you die
Yeah, think! think before you die!

Deficit and depravation - in the wake of desperation
Rewrite the morals, rectify the nation
Now may be your time

As you ruminate the hopeless sands of time
Do you wonder how your life has been defined?
You know eternity can't ever change your mind
You know eternity can't ever change your mind
So, think! think before you die - whoa, think, think before you die!
