My gun
No cries
No lies
you turn
a blind eye
I point my gun at you
and you point yours at me
dead end
my friend
You point your gun at me
and I point mine at you
Why are you still standing on that hill
Surrounded by the forces of someone's will
waste time
waste land
a slight movement
of a hand
We point our guns at you
and you point yours at them
31
no point
In running
They point their guns at us
and the circle's complete
Why are you still standing on that hill
Surrounded by the forces of someone's will
A crack
In a wall
Will end
It all
move one step forward
and then two steps back
Hot war
Cold war
move two step forward
and you'll break your back
slowly you will see
where to be..... Safe
a war
is a war
as long
as you want
you will see your way
and I'll see my
so far
no longer
will I see it your way
when you don't want to see it mine
Why are you still standing on that hill
Surrounded by the forces of someone's will
Hot war
No more?
Cold war

I had to download this to my phone in order to hear it. Had my earbuds in. The. Spoken intro gave a false sense of security that this was gonna be a nice laidback song. Then bang! You about scared me to death. Bloody loved it.

Fab. Like James, I was expecting a gentle opening phrase, but bam! No chance.
A great rocker, organ and electric guitar work so well.
Love it.

So tuneful, and so many beautiful details. The organ is fab, but I especially love those bluesy acoustic licks in the far left / right channels. Superb work (again) my friend. Would love to jam this one with you and the guys. What a beauty.

Listened to this the other day on phone & was blown away but on better speakers to day & WOW. Brotherman this is outrageously good tunage. I dig everything in this and it all mixes together brilliantly, well done.
Rock the fest On!

Excellent song Geir! I also like the picture that goes with the song. The IPAD organ sound is amazingly good. Fine words and vocal performance....I like it all!

Great work, Geir! Loving that sweaty Hammond organ sound... it adds just the right amount of menace to the overall sound :)
