Skull Of Your Country

MEAT LOAF · Braver Than We Are 2016 · Track 08 of 13

Written by Jim Steinman

How do you bury the skull of your country? How do you bury a nation of fears? Where you gonna hide your love through long years of dying? Give me a tombstone and a wreath of all your tears

[Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] There's a black day dawning [Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] There's a corpse in mourning [Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] For your tin can graveyard [Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] For your tin foil savior

[Girl:] Turn around, bright eyes! Turn around, bright eyes!

[Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] There are drones on fire screaming [Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] There are bloodshot rivers steaming [Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] Let the final dance begin now [Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] We're outlaw sons now

[Girl:] Turn around, bright eyes! Turn around, bright eyes!

[Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] For the blood on the highways [Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] For the new war each day [Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] For the skies are hungry [Girl:] Turn around [Boy:] For the end is thirsty

[Girl:] Turn around, bright eyes! Turn around, bright eyes! Turn around, bright eyes! Turn around, bright eyes!
