about

'The inspiration for this lyrics came from the 22 Caliber Killer who even killed in broad daylight, but managed to escape for quite a long time. It’s written in the ‘I’-form, so the song is not about this 1980 racist murderer nor it is about Danny himself, but only about the police arriving too late at ev’ry damn crime scene going on. As for the music this song has four different guitar parts, making it the Danny Ramirez song with the most riffs. Performed live at a dozen gigs during 2002-2005, with a one-off live comeback on November 18, 2016.'

lyrics

This is a song for the strong arm of the law
For never crossing my path
They're never around when I murder at dawn
And they only arrive when I've left

The signs in the sky show clear
That the time to spill blood draws near
Before the night is done you'll hear the shots from a gun
Dead by the rise of the sun

This is a song for the cops on the streets
They never do stand in my way
When I dress to kill and feel the need
To use a knife and end a life today

To murder in broad daylight
Does satisfy me even more than to kill in the night
Deadly stabs in the back
I'll make sure you won't survive the attack
