Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
The shadows speak in the alleys of this infamous street
I bark out at the cries, while I'm trying to sleep
Waiting for the finale
I'm a man on his knees
I'm not dead or alive, I feel like somethin between
The earth is starting to shake
And soon they'll walk our plane
Silence takes every passerby
It will cleanse this village
It's all a tale once told
By the sacrificed
And who they left behind
This city is far from what
I'd call paradise
Thieves will thrive
And strangers die
You'll drink your wine
One more time
Living here has ripped away a part of me
Innocence was taken from me forcefully
They're laughing, making most heinous sounds
While the torturing only insinuates the bones
Tired, broken and beaten down
How can I leave this place with the blood on cobblestone
One way ticket to leave this town
It'd be easy to leave them all to their broken homes
Why can't I leave
Guess I'm not so different from
Those who turn to violence in times of need
I'm no saint, but I'm a fighter for the
Citizens of these godforsaken streets
Is that enough?
When the dust settles
We know the fight has just begun
We can end the long lived cycle
Of watching friends and family run away
Torches light
While strangers cry
And just in time
We'll win this fight
And just ask why
The innocent die
And just in time
We'll make things right
Living here has ripped away a part of me
Innocence was taken from me
Taken from me
Living here has ripped away a part of me
Innocence was taken from me forcefully
Now we're taking back our homes and peace
And burning out the monsters that keep
Taking every precious person close to me
