Gangland — текст песни (Steel Prophet)

[Iron Maiden Cover]

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 - murders 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 blacked out jail

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

In Gangland you tell no tales
