just for fun

Intro

Verse 1

Stepping through the shadows of the concrete and the stone

I look at my reflection and I see I am alone

I am twenty-something years and I have seen too many tears

Living in a city that is driven by the fears

Mama in the kitchen dropping down on bended knees

Praying to the heavens just to bring a little peace

They put weapons in our hands and tell us how to play the game

Then they lock us in the dark and they forget about our name

Too much noise in the street, got to keep your vision clear

Every corner that you turn is another thing to fear

I missed my school classes, saw the year go astray

Now the hard road teaches what no teacher could say

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why do we turn a blinded eye

To all of the wounds that will never heal or dry

Tell me why do we trade our soul

For a crown of thorns in a world so cold

Chorus

Spending all our time rolling on the devil's dice

We are paying for the dream with an everlasting price

Spending all our time rolling on the devil's dice

Look into a mother's eyes where the heavy sorrow lies

Verse 2

Got to watch your back because the shadows never sleep

Promises are broken and the secrets run too deep

They sell you golden chains to hide a heavy iron cage

Turning every young soul to a prisoner of rage

I do not want to be another body on the floor

Another chalk outline right outside a bedroom door

I am reaching for the light while the sirens start to wail

Choosing to survive instead of living in a jail

All the ones who wished me harm said that I would surely fall

Now I am standing in the rain while I am looking at you all

Keep your heart clean little brother, do not lose your mind

In a jungle where the blind lead the blind

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why do we turn a blinded eye

To all of the wounds that will never heal or dry

Tell me why do we trade our soul

For a crown of thorns in a world so cold

Chorus

Spending all our time rolling on the devil's dice

We are paying for the dream with an everlasting price

Spending all our time rolling on the devil's dice

Look into a mother's eyes where the heavy sorrow lies

Bridge

Chasing for the status, fighting for the power

Running out of time every second, every hour

Everybody is running, but where do we go

When the ground is burning and the fire starts to grow

No road of war ever gave us a cure

Only love can make a broken heart pure

Chorus

Spending all our time rolling on the devil's dice

We are paying for the dream with an everlasting price

Spending all our time rolling on the devil's dice

Look into a mother's eyes where the heavy sorrow lies

Outro

Walking through the cold night

Paying the price

Open your eyes

If you only knew
