Monster Lyrics

So we were up
Throwin' 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 of the fire un-quenched by peace
Curse the beauty, curse the Queen

So we come to a place of no return
Your's is the face that makes my body burn
And here is the name that our sons will learn
Curse the beauty, curse the queen
Curse 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 fuck 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, if you (?)

So we come to a place of no return
Your's is the face that makes my body burn
And here is the name that our sons will learn
Curse the beauty, curse the queen
Curse the beauty, leave me

I think it's about gambling in general.

To me, it's about watching a loved one lose themselves to drugs on a night out. "Unquenched by piece" could mean a runaway train of worldly or sinful ways. The partner losing their mind in a sense, showing weakness, unable to rationalize or utilize the peace Within. "Leave me" could be giving up on the partner or friend. Quite sad from this perspective...
