City of God (2002 film)
City of God (Portuguese: Cidade de Deus) is a 2002 Brazilian crime drama film co-directed by Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund, released in its home country in 2002 and worldwide in 2003. The story was adapted by Bráulio Mantovani from the 1997 novel of the same name written by Paulo Lins, but the plot is loosely based on real events. It depicts the growth of organized crime in the Cidade de Deus suburb of Rio de Janeiro, between the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1980s, with the closure of the film depicting the war between the drug dealer Li'l Zé and vigilante-turned-criminal Knockout Ned. The tagline is "If you run, the beast catches you; if you stay, the beast eats you", a proverb analogous to the English "Damned if you do, damned if you don't".
The cast includes Alexandre Rodrigues, Leandro Firmino da Hora, Phellipe Haagensen, Douglas Silva, Alice Braga and Seu Jorge. Most of the actors were, in fact, residents of favelas such as Vidigal and the Cidade de Deus itself.

City Of God
by: SodomSilent calls of solitude
Waiting for decline
Delivered from their passion
To spill the blood tonight
Laughing dead corruption
The truth is just a fake
Undying hate is buried
Into a nameless grave
Don't be afraid
Don't run away
Their past has been divided
Emperor's sacrifice
The dead will take the reign
Blessed by the guns
City of God
Crawling deep into your soul
A life that fades away
Balanced on the edge of scorn
For whom you gonna pray
Terror without pity
Insane and tearing minds
All wars could be forgotten
When life is so unkind
Don't be afraid
Don't run away
Their past has been divided
Emperor's sacrifice
The dead will take the reign
Blessed by the guns
