rules of law

    we measure light by angle and by weight
    what's given us is far too quickly done
    so in the end we blame it all on fate

    the early bird we learn has flown the gate
    this is the shortest time after the gun
    we measure light by angle and by weight

    tomorrow is the latest ending date
    after which nobody can hope to run
    so in the end we blame it all on fate

    only the air is left within the crate
    that is the story that we had begun
    we measure light by angle and by weight

    we clear the tally off the broken slate
    the price we paid was high enough to stun
    so in the end we blame it all on fate

    you paid us off at the prevailing rate
    we asked no pardon and expected none
    we measure light by angle and by weight
    so in the end we blame it all on fate
