Gangland

[Verse 1]

Shadows may hide you but also be your grave

You're running today, maybe tomorrow you'll be saved

You pray for the daylight to save you for a while

You wonder if your children will face the killer's smile

[Chorus]

Dead men tell no tales

Gangland, murder's up for sale

Dead men tell no tales

Gangland, where the jail birds die

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge]

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 you're alone, but alive for how long?

[Chorus]

Dead men tell no tales

Gangland, murder's up for sale

Dead men tell no tales

In gangland, where the jail birds die

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Dead men tell no tales

Gangland, murder's up for sale

Dead men tell no tales

Gangland, where the jail birds die

[Outro]

Dead men

Gangland

Murder

Gangland, tell no tales
