Blood on the Pavement

Lyrics

[Verse] Red lights flashing, bodies on the asphalt Chalk lines drawn, no mercy, it’s a cold vault Crows circling, wings sharp as a switchblade Blood drips thick, sticky syrup, no Kool-Aid Moon dipped low, whispers in the alley Death dealt quick, no vote, no tally Echoes of a scream, swallowed by the wind Guilt rides shotgun, gripping tight to the sin [Chorus] Blood on the pavement, souls in the gutter Life torn apart like bread and butter No prayers left, just the sound of sirens Heartbeat’s silent, violence and defiance [Verse 2] Shell casings glint, stars in the sewer Karma cash checks, revenge the pursuer Fingers trace triggers, cold metal symphony Death sings a solo, raw and infamy Streetlights hum, shadows play assassin Every corner a stage for a dark passion Concrete cries, soaked in the essence History written, in absence and presence [Bridge] City don’t sleep, it just shifts and it stares Bloodshot eyes, no one’s playing fair No rewind, no pause, this a one-take scene Reality bites, sharp teeth, so mean
