I'm back in town where I was born,
Where streets so cold and hearts of stone.
They told me — kid, you'll see the sun.
I did! through the barrel of the gun…
Day one I understood the game,
So much to lose — so much to gain.
I'm not the one who's left behind,
I know I'll make it — through the night…
Somebody's gonna die in a desperate fight,
No use to hide away the light.
Get paid to go so far — no matter who you are.
Nobody's gonna run and there's no one to blame,
We're under the gun and feel no shame,
It's never gonna end — the legion of the damned…
I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools,
So many saints, so many rules…
It's gonna be — cold day in hell,
If ever reason'll break the spell.
Somebody's gonna die in a desperate fight,
No use to hide away the light.
Get paid to go so far — no matter who you are.
Nobody's gonna run and there's no one to blame,
We're under the gun and feel no shame,
It's never gonna end — the legion of the damned…
They don't understand,
I know who I am…
