Post murder ballad

Liner Notes
Dark
Lyrics
We turn to the body on the slab The signs of struggle are quite clear A kitchen knife was used to stab Defensive wounds both here and here
We know the victim was not young These eyes have seen so many things But our research has just begun Note the masonic engraving on the rings
Found last night at half past four Our technicians brought him in No-one’s seen the face before Could be some clues underneath the skin
We always need to know more To build a fuller picture Before we close the drawer Before we add the sticker
Move on to number 2 A busy night ahead

The song title caught my attention. It's more whimsical than the dark I was expecting. But I'm not disappointed. It's left me with a happy smile and an appreciation for a ballad done well <3
An unusual topic for a song! Dark, but 'just a job' I guess!
