Lyrics
Keep Watch For The Mines
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't act like you've been silent
I know how you spread that web of contradictions
Wide, like so much cover fines
Keep watch for the mines.
Keep watch for the mines.
Be careful who you wave that tongue at 'round here.
I've seen smarter acts than yours has disappeared.
If you keep swinging that knife up over this town
You are bound to get your arm back stabbed
Keep watch for the mines
The concealed dangers.
The traps and the chords of the wires
With their sharp razors.
The ditches and the trenches and the smiles
Of the gravediggers.
And if you told, the answer needs no questioning,
The answer is a lie.
Keep watch for the mines.
Keep watch for the mines.
Keep watch for the mines.
(will they bleed everyone out?)
(will they bleed everyone out?)
Keep watch for the mines.
(will they bleed everyone out before they die?)
Keep watch for the mines.
(will they bleed everyone out?)
(will they bleed everyone out?)
Keep watch for the mines.
(will they bleed everyone out before they die?)
Keep watch for the mines.
The concealed dangers,
The traps and the chords of the wires
With their sharp razors.
The ditches and the trenches and the smiles
Of the gravediggers.
And if you told, the answer needs no questioning
The answer is a lie.
Keep watch for the mines.
Keep watch for the mines.
