Love Is The Law

In the desert sand
Watch the caravan on trial

Over dusty trails
Lies the broken wheels on fire

On an empty plain
Lies a small tree dying
And a crucifixion thorn
High above my head
I see the mountains burning

Love is the law

In the basement deep
Lies the killer king, my friends

In the _____ heat
He soldiered on to the end

And there’s a strange wind blowing
On the edge of the world
As the hangman ties the knot

And the law man sifts
Through the open graves

Love is the law

To know is to dare
Like Scorpio rising
Love is the law, tonight

Celebrate your son
Celebrate the souls, tonight

Where the angel sleeps
And the hero weeps inside

But the general says
What the general needs

And the politician
Feeds his greed
The absolute religion for the King

On an empty plain
Lies a small tree dying
And a crucifixion thorn

High above my head
I see the mountains burning

Love is the law

And there’s a strange wind blowing
On the edge of the world
As the hangman ties the knot

And the law man sifts
Through the open grave

Love is the law

Love is the law

Love is the law

Love is the law
