Miami streets, they shine so bright, under neon lights, we find blood in the night
Beneath the gloss, the sheen, the gleam, lies a story not so bright it seems
Crime on the rise, in paradise,
Crime on the rise, in paradise, where the vice grips tight, and the stakes are high
Crime on the rise, in paradise
Crime on the rise, in paradise
In the heart of the night, where the shadows dwell
Lies a tale of a city, caught between heaven and hell, between heaven and hell
But we're whispering secrets, in the neon blood rain. In the city of sun, now drowned in the gun
Blood on the rise in paradise
Blood on the rise in paradise
Step into the scene, it's the '80s dream, Miami's glow, it's all agleam. But the glitter and gold, it's just a screen, hides the blight unseen, it's so obscene
Blood on the rise in paradise
Blood on the rise in paradise
Blood on the rise in paradise
In the shadows of vice, no light to entice, in the longest night, we've paid the price. For a city so bold, now just stories of old, of the lost, the young, and the cold.
From the ashes, we stare, with despair in our glare. Shadows clash, in silent pain. In the city of sun, now drowned in the gun
