It was an unexpected night time pleasure
As I drove out of the mountains 
Suddenly there in the valley below
Were the lights of Salt Lake City

I was tearing down the mountain
Returning to Seattle in my new Corvette
That’s when I heard the siren
A glance at the speedometer...

Carrie Nation was renown for her scorn

For the havoc caused by john barleycorn

She wielded her axe causing dire consternation

Wrecking bars with what she termed a "hatchitation"

The spirits come for a late night ethereal visit
the little girl announces her presence

Breath in Breath out
there is nothing to forgive
Your pain is validation you still live

With that... all sense of hearing dissapears 
next comes paralysis with its icy grip, breath chocked by irrational fear
Now...

The U-boat left the mouth of the French harbour
Under cover of darkness for these German Navy martyrs
To the North Atlantic they went to sink Allied shipping their bent
Their plan was to cut Britain's supply line of shipping without lament
But just lately the tide had changed...

I might be leading my buddies straight into an ambush
I’m not sure but daylight patrols seem safer
Locating trip wires...

Tazed in Patrol Car Backseat

He was found dead in Patrol car backseat
Shot with Taser and did repeat and repeat
In total agony he surely must have been
After having been tased again and again.

All police rules this was completely against
And all about this you sort of sensed

Another night on patrol
In this winter quiet, this winter cold
Breathing frosty air upon a midnight shadow
Yet nature’s soul is oh, so mellow

Does one dare to stir up the night?
Fill it with anger and tempt it to fight?

In my country, gangs of fiends own the night.
In my country, we lived broken lives of torment.
My family fled with little but our naked terror.
Bleeding and blistered, our feet carried us hundreds of miles.

Might you be 
That very special girl
I hold so tight
As our love reaches new heights
Our souls dance with delight
Looking for the perfect direction
When our paths crossed 
With such loving affection

Do we dare try to compare
How much we love and care
When we turn up the degrees
On...
