Intro: (x4) Verse The days are growing short, patience wearing thin Blackouts and broken trust, Leading to exodus The future’s built on bullets and rocks They’ll search, they’ll save, They’ll find it one day There’s work to do, and mouths to feed Why can’t you see, This plaintiff plea The future’s starved, the families disappear To the dark, cover of night Instrumental: (x4) Verse No fear, no harm was meant, The smuggler joked And down they went, The devil’s highway Disguised as a cloud of dust and smoke Narcos and feds, Are all intertwined You can leave your valuables here, with me he smiled A future’s promised to you Wrapped in their words without truth Echoes in a labyrinth of solitude Security built a lie, a wall Wrapped round and around fortitude Instrumental: (x4) Outro Bullets and rocks A future’s promised to you
