Bloodstreets

I was born on these streets years ago

I was the king of the neighbourhoood

Fast on my feet, I was elite

I was the star of the show

This task must be done - I will not run

I will not lay me down to die

This war I will win, so let it begin

Deep in my heart is a burning fire...

And I can't let it go

Alone in the night I know I must fight for my home

Time has changed the seasons

And I will go on with no reason

I feel my life slipping away

These streets are getting colder

And I am growing older

Tomorrow seems so far away

What's become of us friend, we were one till the end

Now I'm alone in the streetlight gleam

This town knew our names, but nothing's the same

The places I played have forgotten the dream

And I can't let it go

Alone in the night I know I must fight for my home

Time has changed the seasons

And I will go on with no reason

I feel my life slipping away

These streets are getting colder

And I am growing older

Tomorrow seems so far away
