we know that love remains the only law
our chances for survival are so clear
the waiting monster may withhold its claw
from time to time the card that we may draw
will not depress but will our moment cheer
we know that love remains the only law
though fate awaits our feet with open maw
we are not given more than we should bear
the waiting monster may withhold its claw
we test the boundaries and find no flaw
and still we find the enemy is near
we know that love remains the only law
the happy stallion sleeps on the straw
and knows that we have always held him dear
the waiting monster may withhold its claw
the truest weapon is the living jaw
and none as vital ever will appear
we know that love remains the only law
the waiting monster may withhold its claw
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
