Maiden Iron Gangland 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 the jailbirds 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 `til 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 you`re alone but alive for how long?

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.

Dead men - tell no tales,
In Gangland - murder`s up for sale.
Dead men - tell no tales,
In Gangland - where the jailbirds die.

In Gangland you tell no tales
