The Turn

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Joe Brown] The scene is a slaughter Another young female cadaver The boys taped up the scene This couldn't be imagined in your darkest dreams Sgt., this job's not cut out for me My daughter just turned eighteen I must keep her from this beast Must keep her from [Refrain 1: Joe Brown] Slow down boy Your monster is still on the streets And yet we don't have shit but these bloody limbs [Verse 2: Joe Brown] This curse is all of me They might think that daddy had his way with me Or mother never said "I love you" [Refrain 2: Joe Brown] My father is a scholar And my mother's a saint The truth is Forever came crashing when I said "I do" [Verse 3: Joe Brown] Your girl is safe with me Bound and bleeding, the way they all should be And all I've heard is "Daddy save me please" [Chorus: Dan Arnold, Gang Vocals] Confess to the father This blood on your hands will burn your soul You've lost control The moment you cut her You look to the sky with eyes half closed I'm letting go [Verse 4: Joe Brown] I'll kill you, you bastard! Don't touch a hair on my daughter I'll find out where you sleep You think you're sick I'll show you a fucking beast [Refrain 3: Joe Brown] The church is where we meet Twenty flat or she'll die you see Your only chance to stop this bleeding disease Mom should've aborted me And so my dear your end is finally near It's a shame you have her blonde hair [Chorus: Dan Arnold] Confess to the father This blood on your hands will burn your soul You've lost control The moment you cut her You look to the sky with eyes half closed You let him go [Post-Chorus: Dan Arnold] You've poisoned me, brother The thoughts that we think have made us whole Now I'm letting go [Outro: Joe Brown] Requiem of the fallen dove and the murderous twin Funeral hymn Sings detective the killers within
