In shadows deep
Where whispers lie
A promise made
A vow to die
The blood runs cold
The night is still
A kingdom built on iron will

Leave the gun
Take the cannoli
Bitter sweet
The price unholy
Family first
The creed we follow
Hearts are heavy
Pride is hollow

The roses bloom
But thorns remain
Loyalty wrapped in a shroud of pain
A silent nod
A final breath
Honor dances close to death

The strings of fate
They pull
They weave
A life of power
A life to grieve
The ties that bind
They choke
They hold
A legacy carved in blood and gold

Leave the gun
Take the cannoli
Bitter sweet
The price unholy
Family first
The creed we follow
Hearts are heavy
Pride is hollow

In the end
All debts are paid
Shadows linger
Dreams will fade
Leave the gun
Take the cannoli
Life is fleeting
Nothing wholly
