SNOW KING
Modern Rock speaking about The Winter? The White Man? The State of the World in general?

lyrics

SNOW KING
Copyright 2021 Walter Salas-Humara, Lagartija Music BMI

Looking out the window
At the heavy snow
All is dripping white
The sky is falling low
Pulling on my boots and gloves and hat

Hear the snow king talking
A long ramble of words
The sky is falling, falling fast
You never know how deep it gets or how long it lasts
How long it lasts

Snow King
Look out for the Snow King
Snow King
Look out for the Snow King
Leave the camp fire smoking
Leave the Snow King choking
Leave his backbone broken

The snow king’s sliding
Down a slippery path
To a world as white as hate can last

Shiver in your cabin
When the Snow King rules
He’s gonna sink this ship of fools
You never know how fast it cools
Or how long he rules
How long he rules

Snow King
Look out for the Snow King
Snow King
Look out for the Snow King
Leave the camp fire smoking
Leave the Snow King choking
Leave his backbone broken

See the snow king smiling
From both sides of his mouth
The mob outside is getting mad
You never know how deep it gets or how long it lasts
How long it lasts
How long it lasts
How long it lasts
How long it lasts

The Silos New York, New York

The Silos, the still-kicking band Walter Salas-Humara co-founded in New York’s post-punk ‘80s scene played Alt-Rock, Alt- Country, and Americana before any critics coined those terms. Salas-Humara’s narratives take on the weight of attentive, convincing poetry and wry wordplay. Each tune is marked by such humanity, which offers much refuge in a convulsive time. ... more
