Lyrics by the G.A.N.G. Music by the G.A.N.G & Alex Burke

Chorus

But they calling me the Shadow of the Night.

Verse 1

Dark shades that block my rage,
So what, Im hot, I blaze.
Somebody stop this, city of darkness,
People are tired, some many liars,
Send a messiah, put out the fire.
Mending a world that's broken in pieces,
Christians preaching believe in Jesus.
(uh!!! that's what they're saying, They,ve got me praying)

Sins of the father and mothers upon us,
Blaming the past, for the future before us,
Who can save us all?
I am here, with vengence and fire again,
These walls I swore to defend,
When war is at hand, why cant they understand that I?

Chorus

I'm not the cause I am necessary,
I'm not the evil mercenary,
But they're calling me the Shadow of the Night.
I'm not the cause I'm a visionary,
I'm not the evil mercenary,
But they're calling me the Shadow of the Night.

Verse 2

Welcome to this, city of darkness,
A city where we living retarded,
Where the strong survive and the weak are the target,
No governing amongst them, living in carnage,
Finish what, you could have never have started.
We are it, the ones you should have never have doubted,
We bout it,
Heard the top was lonely, well the bottom is crowded,

And we, from the bottom up at the bottom we stuck,
Cause at the bottom it is so corrupt,
They're not fighting us fair.
So when we ride, we ride with a spare.
The voice of the people, the uprising is here.
United we stand, and divided we fall,
If together equals never, then forever we ball,
I stand for Cause; I stand with my hand on my balls,
I stand like a man that planning a war,
That you can pardon me for.

Chorus

I'm not the cause I am necessary,
I'm not the evil mercenary,
But they're calling me the Shadow of the Night.
I'm not the cause I'm a visionary,
I'm not the evil mercenary,
But they're calling me the Shadow of the Night.

Middle 8

When the people need a change,(Need a change)
They will sing, in hope for a better way.
I'll be there to find a way.
I am your voice, I have no fear,
I am your sorrow, your heartache and tears.

Chorus

I'm not the cause I am necessary,
I'm not the evil mercenary,
But they're calling me the Shadow of the Night.
I'm not the cause I'm a visionary,
I'm not the evil mercenary,
But they're calling me the Shadow of the Night.
