The Turn Songtext
von Lankum

The hardened lumps of charred old chunks
That sit inside your chest
Have left your hands in holy lands
Forsaken and bereft

The golden sky is dead, her wizened
Finger says you′ve failed
It's time to go, son, and you know
You′ve lost the holy grail

A man sits down to pen a verse
But surely nothing comes
He's in a strange old town now
Beneath the sinking sun

The wind is cold, it's summer time
The year′s already gone
The sun, it turns to laugh at you
And the planet that you′re on


Turn, we'll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it′s the only way
We'll make a sound

When this all is over
When this all is dead
They′ll pick apart the notions
That rattle in your head

The ship's already moving
It′s never going to stop
The sun meets the horizon
As you look upon your lot

Turn, we'll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it's the only way
We′ll make a sound

Turn, we′ll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it's the only way
We′ll make a sound


Turn, we'll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it′s the only way
We'll make a sound

Turn, we′ll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it's the only way
We'll make a sound

Turn, we′ll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it′s the only way

Turn, we'll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it′s the only way

Turn, we'll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it′s the only way

Turn, we'll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it′s the only way

Turn, we'll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it's the only way

Turn, we′ll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it′s the only way

Turn, we'll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it′s the only way

Turn, we'll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it′s the only way

Turn, we'll find better days
Burned to the ground
Mourn, it′s the only way
