Snake Eyes Lyrics
Mumford & Sons
[Intro]
[Verse 1: Marcus Mumford]
You hold it, in your hands
And let it flow, this cruelty
Of youth as you fall again
Alone, In the compromise of truth
[Chorus]
It's in the eyes
I can tell, you will always be danger
We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?
[Verse 2]
And the stakes remain too high
For this silent mind
And the shake, the lonely itch
That courses down my spine
To reave a love divine
Don’t leave a love divine
Its a water tight excuse
[Chorus 2]
It's in the eyes
I can tell, you will always be danger
We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
It's in the eyes
I can tell you will always be danger
[Verse 3]
How does the earth around your feet
Just slip away?
And abandon, that greets you in the night
With snake eyes, the most precious kind
[Chorus 3]
It's in the eyes!
I can tell, you will always be danger!
We had it tonight! Why do you always seek absolution?
It's in the eyes!
I can tell you will always be danger!
[Outro]
[Verse 1: Marcus Mumford]
You hold it, in your hands
And let it flow, this cruelty
Of youth as you fall again
Alone, In the compromise of truth
[Chorus]
It's in the eyes
I can tell, you will always be danger
We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?
[Verse 2]
And the stakes remain too high
For this silent mind
And the shake, the lonely itch
That courses down my spine
To reave a love divine
Don’t leave a love divine
Its a water tight excuse
[Chorus 2]
It's in the eyes
I can tell, you will always be danger
We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
It's in the eyes
I can tell you will always be danger
[Verse 3]
How does the earth around your feet
Just slip away?
And abandon, that greets you in the night
With snake eyes, the most precious kind
[Chorus 3]
It's in the eyes!
I can tell, you will always be danger!
We had it tonight! Why do you always seek absolution?
It's in the eyes!
I can tell you will always be danger!
