At the end of the road
As they're daring along,
He jumped to the lion's den


And the noose was tied tight
Up around his neck

He used sand and blood to entertain

Life is short

And it's rules are long
They'll beat you again and again


When push comes to shove
Your time is up
Don't extinguish your favorite flame


This is not
A way to end

Life's too short to
Waste my friend


These copper color hearts
Exposed to the world
He spelt pride with his hammer and his tongue


Face to the wall
He put his back upon it

And sank to oblivion

At a moment a heavy hearts

Should stand till the bitter end
The growing crowd
Is baying for blood

They want six feet of rope and revenge

This is not

A way to end
Life's too short to
Waste my friend


This is not
A way to end

Life's too short to
Waste my friend
