Laying Down The Law

I'm laying down the law



Showdown in the northland



Just the whiff of corruption



Is the tip of the iceberg



Savor and sweet liberty



And there's trouble from the south



Shouting from the gallery



Now I find I've got to shut it out



I'm searching for a light



To kill my sense of fear



To break through darkened nights



And take me through the years



There's no need to tell you



What I think has gone wrong



There's grey clouds of dissension



Let it show, let it show a silver lining



Sweet blood on the razor



Is it poetry or politics?



Forget about the nightmare



I'll make it a dream that changes everything



I'm searching for a light



To kill my sense of fear



To break through darkened nights



And take me through the years



Sweet blood on the razor



Is it poetry or politics?



Forget about the nightmare



I'll make it a dream that changes everything



I'm searching for a light



To kill my sense of fear



To break through darkened nights



And take me through the years
