Laying Down The Law Lyrics

I'm laying down the law
Showdown in the northland
Just the whiff of corruption
Is the tip of the icebergSavor and sweet liberty
And there's trouble from the south
Shouting from the gallery
Now I find I've got to shut it outI'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the yearsThere'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 liningSweet blood on the razor
Is it poetry or politics?
Forget about the nightmare
I'll make it a dream that changes everythingI'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights

And take me through the yearsSweet blood on the razor
Is it poetry or politics?
Forget about the nightmare
I'll make it a dream that changes everythingI'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the years
