Mumford & Sons Monster lyrics

So we were up,
Throwing dice in the dark,
I saw you late, last night, come to harm.
I saw you dance, in the devil's arms.

The night kept coming,
Really nothing I could do.
Eyes with a fire, unquenched, by peace.
Curse the beauty, curse the queen.

So we come, to a place of no return,
Yours is the face, that makes my body burn.
Here is the name, that our sons will learn,
Curse the beauty, curse the queen.
Curse the beauty, leave me.

So when you are weak,

And when you are on your knees,
I'll do my best, with the time, that's left.
Sworn with your spirit, you're fully fleshed.

So fuck your dreams,
And don't you pick at our seams,
I'll turn into a monster for you, if you, pay me enough.
None of this counts, a few dreams, ploughed up.

So we come, to a place of no return,
Yours is the face, that makes my body burn.
Here is the name, that our sons will learn,
Curse the beauty, curse the queen.
Curse the beauty, leave me.
