Mumford & Sons — Monster lyrics

Lyrics

So we were up Thowin' 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
Cast the beauty, cast the queen
So we come
To a place of no return
Yours is the face, that makes my body burn
And here is the name that our sons will learn:
Cast the beauty, cast the queen
Cast the beauty, leave me So when you’re weak
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 f**k 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, plowed up So we come
To a place of no return
Yours is the face, which makes my body burn
And here is the name, that our sons will learn:
Cast the beauty, cast the queen
Cast the beauty, leave me
