Mountain Sound Lyrics
Of Monsters And Men
Lyrics
I heard them calling in the distance
So I packed my things and ran
Far away from all the trouble
I had caused with my two hands
Alone we traveled armed
With nothing but a shadow
We fled, far away
Hold your horses now (Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now (Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
Some had scars and some had scratches
And made me wonder about their past
And as I looked around I began to notice
That we were nothing like the rest
Hold your horses now (Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now (Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-OH
We sleep until the sun goes down
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
We sleep until the sun goes down
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
We sleep until the sun goes down
Hold your horses now (Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now (Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
Hold your horses now (Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now (Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
La la la, whoa-oh-oh-oh-OH
La la la, we sleep until the sun goes down
La la la, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
La la la, we sleep until the sun goes
