Blood Silk Candles

On the shores of heartache shall my heart lay
Asking myself if I should die today

Enough is enough, no more shall I cry
Victory or defeat I keep walking forward
My blood's been running like a river going shore ward
Day in day out I live like vandals
Trapped in hell with these blood silk candles

Shot twice, been in jail over six times
Everyday my dead brothers on my mind
Lord, forgive my sins and my transgressions
Today I give to you, my confessions
And please forgive other souls that went astray
I'm done living life on the edge of the handles
Trapped in hell with these blood silk candles

Yet another mother just buried her son
Fight after fight more blood being shed
My friend join the gang and next day he's dead
My sister been raped and my mom's being beaten
Go to bed not knowing when I'll be eating
Walking round the block in my ripped up sandals
Trapped in hell with these blood silk candles

On the corner night and day selling more drugs
Wasting money on bottles of mug
Yet to find someone to show me love
Lord bless me with protection as I pray
On the shores of death shall my heart lay
Asking myself if I should die today
Trapped in hell with these blood silk candles
Trapped in hell with these blood silk candles
