See them rule these streets at night
Selling souls and dealing highs
Running with their smoking guns
Talking tough of damage done
Revolution in their minds
Only way they know is crime
Killing children with their fix
While they wear a crucifix
They are the voice
There is no choice
In the name of the father and the gun
Cities held by strangle hold
How to free them no one knows
There is no near end in sight
Those who try just lose the fight
Bonded by their colors worn
A violent way of life is born
Everyone's your enemy
Addiction is pure slavery
Death on our streets
But no one speaks
In the name of the father and the gun
[Chorus:]
In the name of the father
In the name of all that's wrong
All's said and done
In the name of the gun
In the eyes of a guilty man
His work is done
Now there's nowhere safe around
From the slums to chinatown
Home's become a living hell
Take me to the wishing well
Get me off these streets of fear
Someone get me out of here
Turn my head and look away
Free me from the endless shame
Take me away
I will not pray
In the name of the father, and the gun...
[Chorus]

When i first heard this song, admittedly it was a few years after it came out, I could not help but notice how much Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name Of" borrowed from the theme of this song that came out a year earlier.

@doomslayer133 I know, I guess that dude above is talking about Clifford re-joining ICON. I don't see what that has to do with this video or the most underrated metal band in history~Laaz Rockit......FIRE IN THE HOLE!

@MrMetalbucker So this is ICON's original singer on this album? The one who sang on ICON and Night Of The Crime?
