Before the Devil Knows

Before the devil knows where I lived yesterday
I'll find my home very soon today
Before the law hangs me on this tree today
I'll find my shelter on the mountain very soon

Mother and father get me bread and trust
Keep me protected from the devil and the law
Mother and father meet their fate so rough
Keep me safe from my sins and foes

Lord just won't take my soul
Law is hunting on the road
Alone I wander in the world
A life so rough, gimme shelter from the law

Before the rains from the west come to find me again
I'll find a cave to get cover today
Before the chains take me out of the mountains
I'll fight to live into the wild my way

Sisters and brothers do not know my name
Greed and guilt took them away
Sisters and brothers do not meet their fate
They give their souls and life to the state

Lord just won't take my soul
Law is hunting on the road
Alone I wander in the world
A life so rough, gimme shelter from the law
