Lyrics

Snake Eyes

Swing low, swing low

For to carry me home

In fire the skies of red

My breath's gone cold

A kiss from the coal

A blanket of snow overhead

Slow, holy roller

It's just rock and roll

Hold your tears

Where they've hung all these years

Down from the heavens above

Old snake eyes

You had better disguise

All that appears of thee

Pray for love

From the heavens above

Laid in the ashes below

Laid in the ashes below

Laid in the ashes below

Laid in the ashes below
