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
