Snake Eyes
Eyes of Danger: Unraveling Mumford & Sons' Poetic Tale
Lyrics
You hold it, in your hands
You possess it, in your control.
And let it flow, this cruelty
Allowing it to flow, this harshness.
Of youth as you fall again
The harshness of youth as you experience a downfall once more.
Alone, In the compromise of truth
Isolated, facing the compromise of truth.
It's in the eyes
It's evident in the eyes.
I can tell, you will always be danger
I can perceive that you will always embody danger.
We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?
We possessed it tonight, why do you leave it exposed?
And the stakes remain too high
The risks remain too elevated.
For this silent mind
For this silent mind.
And the shake, the lonely itch
And the tremor, the solitary urge.
That courses down my spine
That travels down my spine.
To leave a love divine
To abandon a divine love.
Don't leave a love divine
Do not abandon a divine love.
It's a water tight excuse
It's a perfectly sealed excuse.
It's in the eyes
It's apparent in the eyes.
I can tell, you will always be danger
I can sense that you will always embody danger.
We had it tonight, why do we always seek absolution?
We had it tonight, why do we always seek forgiveness?
It's in the eyes
It's apparent in the eyes.
I can tell you will always be danger
I can sense you will always embody danger.
How does the earth around your feet
How does the ground around your feet.
Just slip away?
Simply slip away?
And abandon, that greets you in the night
And the abandonment that greets you in the night.
With snake eyes, the most precious kind
With snake eyes, the most precious kind.
It's in the eyes!
It's apparent in the eyes!
I can tell, you will always be danger!
I can sense you will always embody danger!
We had it tonight! Why do we always seek absolution?
We had it tonight! Why do we always seek forgiveness?
It's in the eyes!
It's apparent in the eyes!
I can tell you will always be danger!
I can sense you will always embody danger!
