Lyric Gangland

Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave
You re running today maybe tomorrow you ll be saved
You pray for daylight to save you for a while
You wonder if your children will face the killer s smile

Dead men -- tell no tales
In Gangland -- murder s up for sale
Dead men -- tell no tales
In Gangland -- where jail birds die

Face at the window leers into your own
But it s only your reflection still you tremble in your bones
How long can you hide?How long till they come?
A rat in a trap but you ve got to survive

Once you were glad to be free for a while
The air tasted good and the world was your friend
Then came the day when the hard times began
Now your alone but alive for how long?

A knife at your throat another body on the pile
A contract to keep and it s service with a smile
Murder for vengeance or murder for gain
Death on the streets or a blackened out jail

Dead men -- tell no tales
In Gangland -- murder s up for sale
Dead men -- tell no tales
In Gangland -- where jail birds die

In Gangland you tell no tales.
