Snake Eyes

There’s thunder in the darkness

And there’s tears in her eyes

The wind is a howling

Like lightnin’ in the skies

The air is getting heavy

She’s holdin’ back a scream

The clouds are building quickly

And they’re darker than they seem

---

Snake Eyes rollin’ fast and cold

No mercy, no control

It rips through walls and fences

And leaves a deeper hole

It don’t stop to whisper

It don’t say goodbye

Just comes and takes your whole world

Then fades into the sky

---

The porch light starts to flicker

The shutters start to bend

She holds her child tighter

Knowin’ what’s 'round the bend

The sound is like a freight train

The pressure starts to crush

The glass explodes around her

And settles in a hush

---

Snake Eyes rollin’ fast and cold

No mercy, no control

It don’t ask permission

It just collects its toll

You can't stop the thunder

Or reason with the sky

It rolls the dice for keeps now

And never tells you why

---

The silence now is louder

Than anything before

She walks through what was home

But can’t feel it anymore

She finds a soaked old photo

Her wedding dress is torn

The past is scattered pieces

Like pages ripped and worn

---

Snake Eyes left without a sound

Still echoin’ around

We’re standin’ in the ashes

Of dreams that hit the ground

We’ll rebuild the pieces

But never be the same

When Snake Eyes rolls through town

It never takes the blame
