Blade Echoes

Shadows creep on these cracks, sidewalks, eyes locked Hearts cold like winter frost We built this barn from the dirt we rose But whispers turn to blades when trust erodes He switched sides for a stack of green Now I'm plodding in the dark unseen Grip tight on a piece, no room for doubt One wrong move and the lights go out Echoes of laughs we shared in the night Now it's pain, settle the fight Blood on my hands, but it feels so right For every scar I'm making ignite Rivals clash in the dead of night Loyalty breaks, ignites the fight Signing through, no mercy in sight Revenge burns bright Under street light Pouring rain We sting eternal pain We ride or die Some just fade, some just fade In this world, the price is paid Memories flash like a busted bolt We plan to move, share the hope Grief lit the script, turn brother to foe Now I'm hunting shadows, where the wild winds blow Heart heavy, but the fire won't quit Every step closer, every breath I spit Voices in my head scream for the score One shot to even it, settle the war Tears mixed with the sweat on my face Grief turns to rage in this endless chase No turning back from the path we chose In this brutal game, the strong expose Rivals clash in the dead of night Loyalty breaks, ignites the fight Signing through, no mercy in sight Revenge burns bright Under street light Pouring rain We sting eternal pain We ride or die Some just fade, some just fade In this world, the price is paid Why'd you turn, we were family tight Now the silence screams Through the endless night Lost souls wander in these hollow streets Grief wraps around like chains that defeat But I'll rise from the ashes and break up the wood For the ones who stayed this blood I spilled No peace till the dead is clear In this cycle of pain, the is near Down the travesty No escape from the web of regret Bullets whisper secrets in the haze For every lie That totally pays Emotions crash like waves on the shore Tough exterior hides a war inside more We survive these storms But some don't last Loyal hearts beat through the aftermath One last breath But I'll stand tall In this harsh world I won't back down Rivals clash in the dead of night Loyalty breaks, ignites the fight Sliding through mercy and sight Revenge burns bright Under street light Gang lines drawn in a pouring rain This thing eternal pain We ride it out Some just fade Some just fade The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid The price is paid
