"Love Is The First Law" lyrics

Bonnie "Prince" Billy & Broeder Dieleman Lyrics

"Love Is The First Law"

In the beginning
There was the mind
After which god followed closely behind
We gave her form
She gave us nothing
Well she gave us more things to fear
Which is something

Those who believe
There's things to believe in
They are out there
But we are more than them

Love is the first law
If we're even human
If we can pretend
That we know what we're doing
Then comes surrender
To all and each sister
I'll show you my hands
If you show me yours, mister

Those who would challenge
Our right to give in
They are out there
But we are more than them

They feel that they are undeserving
Of love, and so
They try to own and prove this horror
It's everything that they know
Their agony remains unswerving
They know not how to bend
Or how to see that law-abiding love
Awaits them in

My arms
My heart
My eyes
Our arms
Our hearts
Our eyes
