Before We Die available with my catalogue on https://leodale.bandcamp.com

If you stick with me through the wildest ride of your life
Then we'll both be there when the morning sun arrives
We will not stop too
Its express right through
You can jump the queue
There are very few
Who will keep dancing onto the sharpest part of the knife

You just can't be late for this brush with fate tonight
Standing on the ledge, with the slightest edge, by the light
It's a long way up
It's a long way down
You can try your luck
If you like the sound
And you decide to go where you'll never know if its right

If you follow suit, there's no parachute, there's no bag of loot this way
But let's take the chance and throw the keys away

If we put this off, then the cause is lost
We have done the crime, we're running out of time
So let's kill the lie and live before we die
