Iron Maiden - Gangland

Gangland

Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave
you are running today maybe tomorrow you wi will be saved
You pray for daylight to save you for a while
You wonder if your children wi will face the killers 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 its only your reflection sti will you tremble in your bones
How long can you hide? How long ti will they come?
A rat in a trap but youve 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 be gan
Now your alone but ali have for how long?
A knife at your throat another body on the pile
A contract to keep and its 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
