about

This song features themes loosely based on the Henry James novella coupled with personal observations on life

lyrics

Aboard the drifting ship
afloat on muddy waters
the wind’s abandoned you
and twilight takes no quarter

it bites
it turns
you twist
you turn

Chorus

How can I face an army on my own
I cannot stand by
while the flag is flow

it will take much more
to make a dent in history
neverending strife
bitter fight against greed

Another passing
the sacrifice
a challenge wasted
wicked device

The main condition
or so it seems
a hero complex
that aims to please

Possessing carnal knowledge
corruption setting in
he drifts between the shadows
the moon will not protect him

you turn
you twist
it bites
you bleed

Chorus

How can I face an army on my own
I cannot stand by
while the flag is flow

it will take much more
to make a dent in history
neverending strife
bitter fight against greed

I know she’ll try to please
I know she’ll find a way
her sacrifice misplaced
will be her own undoing

Turn of the Screw
