Lyrics

The city streets when you look at them are only shades of gray
What’s good is not good, what’s bad is not bad, but is it really this way
Yonder stands a boy alone so proudly walking tall
This part of town he calls his own his graffiti’s all over the wall
His mother calls him her lost son, his partners call him friend
He’s unaware of a hungry bear with its nose up in the wind
Fate steps in……

He’s countered a punch at least ten-fold, this his opponents have known
Yet there is no horse who cannot be rode nor man who cannot be thrown
He has plenty of enemies, he pays no mind to them
He has his friends he has weapons, who dare bother him?
Fate Steps in

A chain is as strong as its weakest link and his senses are not at their peak
Next to him are three sober men with no sympathy for the weak
What goes around will come around, it will be what has been
Those who heed not history repeat it again when
Fate steps in

.
The city streets when you look at them are only shades of gray
What’s good is not good, what’s bad is not bad, but is it really this way
Raise the flag and muster all men, the walls are weak and thin
Let’s pray this dike will hold its own when storms will rage again,
And fate steps in
