Lips all in bloom with a bad blood Still drowning down in your home town flood I'd offer my hand but it wouldnt do no good Lethal love of mine Only young when I first met you Gave me years to regret you No I never could quite forget you Lethal love of mine Older now I see we were too young Further now I see where we went wrong Candle burning in the evening Says that I'll soon be leaving No I never could stop believing In that lethal love of mine

The beast waited all night long He waited for thunder to test out his bomb To see that it worked as it should To check it could kill all that it could And the uniform that he wore Was chosen to fool all those that saw He was dressed as a man of the law Oslo midsummer afternoon Brocken glass sugar-dusts the room The ministry of justice in bits Sirens scream as the terror hits A witness reports what she saw Someone with a pistol in an unmarked car Dressed as a man of the law Twenty five miles away On an island in the middle of a lake As a light rain began to fall A man across the water made a call Fooled the ferryman with a wave of his jaw Soon after arrived on the shore Dressed as a man of the law He called a group to gather round Then he drew his gun, laid them to the ground Some broke and ran for their lives Others played dead to survive Some could'nt move anymore As the gunman walked up and away from the shore Dressed as a man of the law In the school house they blocked up the door A boy kept watch on the horrors he saw Fear on the edge of insanity The scene fit the keyhole just like a key And he felt like he'd seen him before Deep in a nightmare now buried no more Dressed as a man of the law Gunshot clapped off the trees As she staggered and stumbled and fell to her knees A smile broke on his face We are all the sons of our time and our place And she wondered what daughters were for As that son of a bitch became the last thing she saw Dressed as a man of the law Through the fear some became brave One kept twenty three alive in a cave While nearby for mercys sake More than fifty survivors pulled from the lake And the police finaly made it to the shore And arrested a beast in the same clothes they wore Dressed as a man of the law Oslo as the evening came Eight body bags for the eight who were slain On the island lay sixty nine dead As fascism once again reared its head Have we forgotten what we'd beaten it for The same question came as before Dressed as a man of the law

I remember well I thought I was a victim As I was driven shackled through the street The toungues and the lashes flashed in rhythm But memory delt the blow of my defeat I tried to hold my laughter at the alter But the joke of it was more than I could bare Then I became my own betrayer When I left all that mattered standing there I beg you dear marksman have mercy Aim well for the heart that let her down And spare my eyes to watch her beauty She leads me down to my dying ground Lead me down to bleed me in the river Let the river draw the life from my veins Then wash your sweet hands in the water And turn and begin your life again Through love I have known heaven And felt the hell only fairwell can bring Now its over, I can say for certain I never truly understood a thing

Key on the table Tells me I'm free But I can't find the door To fit the key There's gaps in the space In the wholes in my shoes Deep down in the red And I'm feelin the blues One of these days I'm gonna turn myself in Then I'll get time to think of you Every now and then Poor boy askin for directions Excuse me sir, how'd you get to wealth? Rich man smiles Behind his last cigar sayin sorry son I'm just as lost myself One of these days I'm gonna turn myself in Then I'll get time to think of you Every now and then See that politician Reloading his gun Smile on his face Like he's the only one To ever tell a lie And live to tell the tale Everybody but you Got something for sale One of these days I'm gonna turn myself in Then I'll get time to think of you Every now and then Now and then I'm not ashamed to cry Not scared of strangers Not afraid of goodbye Chained to my shadow That follows me around I've heard my echo's Been talkin me down One of these days I'm gonna turn myself in Then I'll get time to think of you Every now and then Romeo and Juliet They walked an easy line Like to see them snatch a kiss In these troubled times Never had a clearer thought Than when they marched me up the hill One thing dosen't get you Then the other surely will Alls well that ends well But it nerer seems to end But then I'll get time to think of you Every now and then
