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
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 til 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
