lyrics

The traffic was against him
Every green light turned to red
Every time he tried put his foot down
There was a slow car there instead
He gives a sigh as the city crawls by
As the drums played in his head

Then as the offices came in sight
He stopped the car and ran inside
Through the facades of corruption
Got to find that little child
Through corridors and revolving doors
Every delay made him wild

Grey stares looking back
From hollow eyes
Bony pointing fingers
They have taken the child
The cook has taken a beating
He tried to keep her safe
Through the blood he says
She’s with Phillips, go and get her!

Smashing through the clinic door
He hopes he’s not too late
The Bitch is standing over her
The kid strapped to the bed

She has a needle in her arm
He knows it is too late
He holds the fire extinguisher
And everything goes red

Ten kilos if water and steel
Propelled by anger and hate
Swinging in a vicious arc
Into an unprotected head

The walls accept the blood and bone
He kneels beside the bed
It’s all too late, It’s all too late
It’s all too late, It’s all to late

Góða nótt Silja Henningsdottir
Please forgive what I have done
I hope you see this world again
I hope it’s a better place by then
I robbed the world of your innocent happiness
Remember my song
By then I will be gone
