Gangland Lyrics - The Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden

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 

Gangland, murder's up for sale 

Dead men, tell no tales 

Gangland, where the 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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? 

Dead men, tell no tales 

In gangland, the murder's up for sale 

Dead men, tell no tales 

In gangland, where the jail birds die 

Aaa aaa com' on 

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 

Gangland, where the jail birds die
