Empty Streets Lyrics by Strangeways

Complete Recordings, Vol. 1: 1985-1994

1987

[Verse 1]
They're all around
They live in a world turned upside down
Forgotten lives, betrayed by a dream
The voice of defeat
Echoing through cold, empty streets
But no ones hears, they don't wanna know

[Pre-Chorus]
Driven by some strange power
See the anger written in their eyes
Getting ready for the final hour
The years of mistrust will never die
They never surrender thеir will to survive

[Chorus]
Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in thеir hearts (Don't stop)
They will never know the future of things
Every day brings in life
Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in their hearts (Don't stop)
You could never know the pain that it brings
Keeping the spirit alive

[Verse 2]
There's no way out
They live in a world of shame and doubt
Their troubled souls are all that they know
Driven by one single voice
Hear the desperation of their sighs
They'll never surrender their will to survive

[Chorus]
Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in their hearts (Don't stop)
They will never know the future of things
Every day brings in life
Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in their hearts (Don't stop)
You could never know the pain that it brings
Keeping the spirit alive

[Post-Chorus]
In the empty streets
Of the fire

[Chorus]
Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in their hearts (Don't stop)
They will never know the future of things
Every day brings in life
Don't stop (Don't stop) the fire burning in their hearts (Don't stop)
You could never know the pain that it brings
Keeping the spirit alive

[Post-Chorus]
In the empty streets
Of the fire, oh, oh-oh
