Iron Maiden — Gangland

[Verse 1] Shadows may hide you but also be your grave You're running today, maybe tomorrow you'll be saved You pray for the daylight to save you for a while You wonder if your children will face the killer's smile [Chorus] Dead men tell no tales Gangland, murder's up for sale Dead men tell no tales Gangland, where the jail birds die [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] 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? [Chorus] Dead men tell no tales Gangland, murder's up for sale Dead men tell no tales In gangland, where the jail birds die [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Dead men tell no tales Gangland, murder's up for sale Dead men tell no tales Gangland, where the jail birds die [Outro] Dead men Gangland Murder Gangland, tell no tales
