Before It Began - Dredg

He traveled up and down these roads

To venture out and become a man

He started in a familiar place

But ended up in a foreign land

But as the story usually goes

Nothing quite went as planned

He was on an endless road

Feeling like a king

Even after the initial bite

The wound still did sting

It’s not an easy thing to do

Even for the toughest man

It was already over before it began

(It was already over before it began)

The same strut was in his walk

The same fire was in his eyes

Before his child was even born

He’d already said his goodbye

He was on an endless road

Feeling like a king

Even after the initial bite

The wound still did sting

It’s not an easy thing to do

Even for the toughest man

It was already over before it began

(It was already over before it began, before it began)
