Song lyrics

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 no tales
In Gangland - where 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
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 your alone, but alive for how long?
Dead men - tell no tales
In Gangland - murder's up for sale
Dead men - tell no tales
In Gangland - where jail birds die

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
In Gangland - where jail birds die
In Gangland you tell no tales
