Love Is Stronger Than Justice is the second track on Ten Summoner’s Tales. The song’s subtitle is a play on the phrase “The Magnificent Seven”, a 1960 western which in turn was inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai” film from 1954.

[Verse 1]
This is a story of seven brothers
We had a the same father but different mothers
We keep together like a family should
Roaming the country for the common good
It came to pass one fateful day
We found ourselves down Mexico way
The town, the mayor, the PTA
Pleading on their knees with us all to stay
We'd only stopped for a few burritos
But they told us of the trouble with los banditos
A poor little town in need of aid
My brothers and me had never been afraid
The age of chivalry is not dead
Lonesome nights in a cowboy bed
There'd be a bride for every man
Who chased away the evil gang
[Chorus]
Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than blood
Love is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in flood
[Verse 2]
The outcome was predictable
Our banditos were despicable
Of blood we lost a dozen liters
A small price to pay for las senoritas
The town mayor was happy but his face was glum
The maidens numbered only one
But there weren't seven brides for seven brothers
I knew I had to get rid of the others
[Chorus]
Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than blood
Love is stronger than justice
Love is the big fat river in flood
[Verse 3]
Mother told me I was the clever one
The seventh son of a seventh son
It all ended so happily
I settled down with the family
I look forward to a better day
But ethical stuff never got in my way
And though there used to be brothers seven
The other six are singing in heaven
[Chorus]
Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than blood
Love is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in flood
