Album: Through the Barricades

Snakes And Lovers

I just don’t understand it,
Well there’s something at our door
Now we’re fighting together,
As dogs of war
When the moon is shining,
And you’re wrapped around our sins
Then our souls starts a-howling
And the show begins
Over where the city starts,
Something comes and slips into its heart
Snakes and lovers,
Try to shed our sins
We’re undercover,
But it’s slipped beneath our skins
Snakes and lovers,
Holding on in the night
Are you sleeping tight?
In our Garden of Eden,
With the poison in disguise
We had grown love together
In paradise
Now utopia’s falling
And the messages are clear
That the evil is crawling,
And fear is near
Now temptation comes to try,
So I bite the apple of my eye
Snakes and lovers,
Try to shed our sins
We’re undercover,
But it’s slipped beneath our skins
Snakes and lovers,
Holding on in the night
Are you sleeping tight?
Now you’re alone in your room,
And all of the walls they are turning
And down on the streets where I walk,
The light on my eyes it is burning
So come on and take me, my dear
And bear the fruits of what we know
Then our minds will be clear,
And our hearts will not let go
Just one more step and we will be over
Snakes and lovers,
Try to shed our sins
We’re undercover,
But it’s slipped beneath our skins
Snakes and lovers,
Holding on in the night
Are you sleeping tight?
Holding on in the night
