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 not tales
In gangland - Where the jailbirds 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 etil they come?
A rat in a trap but you´vre 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 ard times began
Now you´re 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 not tales
In Gangland - murder´s up for sale
Dead men - tell not tales
In gangland - Where the jailbirds die

In Gangland you tell no tales
