Depravity

(words & music Joe Pereira)

“day in day out , London news are the same
brother killing brother and its done without shame
initiation rights and they pull out a knife
honour among thieves and they waste another life…”

Searching for news of a father
but only having a mother
joined up in search of a brother
by having to first kill another

Destiny written before the knife
callously took away a life
in the wrong place at the wrong time
she would never get home

Destiny, call it depravity
It’s no life, living by the knife

Could have been anyone that day
it was a young girl who just passed him by
out in the park on a cold day
on a cold day she would die

her back was turned as he thrust the knife
couldn’t even look her in the eye
still thought it OK to take her life
made up his mind she would die

Destiny…

Living by the knife
its a loser’s way
their way to waste their life

“but living on the streets and using a blade
gives a false sense of security to someone who’s afraid
the never ending circle of a victim per new member
means they don’t give a fuck for the age or the gender…”

Destiny x 2

Call it depravity
dying by the knife
Call it depravity
dying by the knife
