"Skull Of Your Country" lyrics

"Skull Of Your Country"
(feat. Cian Coey)

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!
