Albert Fish - Dead City
03:35

From the dirty rooftops
Rats with angel wings
Are shitting on human leftovers
Lost in the corners of despair
Hidden by the bright neon’s
That mask the walls with the corrosive light
That spreads decay
Cruel City, You’re the death of me
Cruel City, You’re killing me
The sun as set, I’m burning out
The hope is fading, I’m moving on
The city’s dead
Disfigured shadows, waste away
Taking cover on the dirty doorsteps
From the addiction, that feeds them life
To kill inside rotten holes
Behind the doors and windows
Rest the lives trapped by fear
Of living free and undaunted
Holding on to fool’s gold
Cruel City, You’re the death of me
Cruel City, You’re killing me
The sun as set, I’m burning out
The hope is fading, I’m moving on
The city’s dead
The rumor of prosperity
Just another blatant lie
Mad men dancing in the gutters
With the ghost of hope
The silent pain scarring the faces
Of the abandoned ones
This grim days cut like a knife

More, give me more
I need all this shit to feel happiness
Now, I want it now
‘Cause I ain’t got no time to loose
Plastic age
Plastic cage
You fuel my rage
This burning rage
Plastic age
Plastic cage
Gotta turn the page
‘Cause I need a change
Tired body, nervous tension
Chasing a life that is killing me
No time to breed, to think or rest
Trapped in the belly of this artificial world
Plastic age
Plastic cage
You fuel my rage
This burning rage
Plastic age
Plastic cage
I’m gonna turn the page
And there will be some change

On and on
I’ve learned these lessons
Yet my heart
Still stands in confession
For the blood that spilled
And soaked our shores
It still stains
Mine and Yours
A birth, a cry
To the endless fires
We forever choose
Just what we sire
The truth, the lies
Our indemnity
To all…
The forgotten identities!
Right and wrong
A people’s oppression
And a nation
Still lost in regression
The progress made
A penance dealt
Reconciliation never felt
The noose, the tree
The ties that bind
A nation to
Its family line
The war, the greed
The un-named dead
Wil we ever know justice?
What can be said?
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Whose left behind?
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Whose lost to time?

We fight to save a nation
From the vile and of greed
That rooted out our conscious
With a blighted, evil seed
For the ones that lead our land
Are the ones who hold us back
The leash that choked our voice
Has forced us to attack
We are in the right!
Our freedom, our pride, our lives!
Our destiny is not yours to write
And this is why we fight!
We fight for the youth
Whose yet to have their say
Force fed all the lies
And conditioned to obey
Told to climb the ladder
Race ahead to beat the rest
For if you lose your footing
You’re forever viewed as less
We are in the right!
Our freedom, our pride, our lives!
Our destiny is not yours to write
And this is why we fight!
We fight for the sons
Behind those prison bars
Dealt a fateful hand
In this brutal game of cards
For the deed that was done
Has long since been paid
We fight for this man
To see a brighter day
