about
Following their previous single 'higher Ground' REACH are now releasing ’The Law’, a song about the evil machinery of mankind. Nothing escapes the law and no one steps above it.
Giving a comment on the upcoming release Ludvig Turner, the singer, guitar player and songwriter of the band says:
”The title of this song states the obvious subject. It’s fascinating and terrifying how we created these specific rules to streamline our behaviour towards authority and community. For the greater good? That’s the point, right? But for whose greater good? The Law is not about ”a law” but a song dedicated to the broken and corrupt states around the world. It calls to look up and see what kind of controlling systems and oppresive structures that govern us, without being written down in any book of law legally speaking, but rather is something fundamental that goes back thousands of years in human history. These are laws that are created by us, but do not belong to us and do not exist for our sake.”

LYRICS:
I am the Law
I am the Law
I´m the escape, salvation, the mother of lies
I am the mace, the map, the fall & the high
I´m the creator of chaos, the order of life
I´m the pain, the reaper, a structure of lies
I am the Law
I am the Law
Sorry for an inconvenient end of your world
I am the Law
Dance my marrionets
Don't come looking for salvation if you drowning in debt
I watch them break, divide, the rich and deprived
I am the god, the order, the structure of lies
I am the Law, The Law, The Law
I am the Law, The Law, The Law
Sorry for an inconvenient end of your world
I am the Law, The Law, The Law
I am the Law
I am the Law
Sorry for an inconvenient end of your world
I am the law, the law, the law
(We´re burning like a, burning like a flame)
Close, so close
Embrace this nation
I am the Law, The Law, The Law
I am the Law, The Law, The Law
Sorry for an inconvenient end of your world
I am the Law, The Law, The Law
I´m the escape, salvation, the mother of lies (dance my marionettes)
I am the mace, the map, the fall & the high (dance my marionettes)
I´m the creator of chaos, the order of life (dance my marionettes)
I´m the pain, the reaper a structure of lies (dance my marionettes)
I am The Law, The Law, The Law
