Lyrics
Shadows creep on every corner Eyes locked in the night Fists clenched tight Ready for the spark that ignites the fight Whispers turn to thunder, lines drawn in the dust One wrong glance and trust crumbles like it's made of rust I move silent heart pounding like a war drum's beat Any dealer in ghost when the heat rises Can't accept defeat Bullets whisper secrets, carving paths through the haze Loyalty's a chain that's slung to precious days We clash like storms no mercy in the fray Blood on the pavement, wash us away Rivals in the dark, we hunt till the Blacks play silent, no room for pretend Battles by the code, now the streets run red Survival's the game, leave the weak for dead Slide through the pain, no turning back now Gangs fire, burden will take the crown Echoes of the fallen, fuel the revenge In this endless war we event Lights blur into chaos, every step a calculated risk How you once called brothers, now they're gone Twist with a Judas kiss, pots circled tight But cracks show in the light One slip of the tongue and you're lost till the night I grip the handle of cold steel my only friend Vengeance boils over no peace till it's penned They come for the throne but I'll bury them deep In the rhythm of the struggle, promises I keep Grief wraps around like smoke from the barrel scent Lost souls screaming, men but the fire won't bend Rivals in the dark, we hunt till the Blacks play silent, no room for pretend Battles blind the cold, now the streets run red Survival's the game, leave the weak for dead Slide through the pain, no turning back now Gangs fire, burden will take the crown Echoes of the fallen, fuel the revenge In this endless war we event Blacks play silent, no room for pretend Battles blind the cold, now the streets run red Survival's the game, leave the weak for dead Slide through the pain, no turning back now Gangs fire, burden will take the crown In this endless war we event Rivals in the dark, we hunt till the Blacks play silent, no room for pretend Battles blind the cold, now the streets run red Survival's the game, leave the weak for dead Slide through the pain, no turning back now Gangs fire, burden will take the crown Echoes of the fallen, fuel the revenge In this endless war we event Blacks play silent, no room for pretend Battles blind the cold, now the streets run red Survival's the game, leave the weak for dead Rivals in the dark, no room for pretend Survival's the game, leave the weak for dead Survival's the game, leave the weak for dead Survival's the game, leave the weak for dead Rivals in the dark, no room for pretend Battles blind the cold, now the streets run red Survival's the game, leave the weak for dead Battles blind the cold, now the streets run red
