(4x)
Welcome to exile
In the rain and the rumbling thunder,
Cast asunder, they threw me under,
A life damned by venomous spiel,
Now an ideal left for an animals meal,
I broke my chains after endless toil,
Then I kneeled, exhausted, in the sodden soil,
Rain boiled with the tears on my face,
An abandoned man, I embrace my disgrace,
Forget my name,
I am an outcast,
A sunset on my shame,
But I will outlast,
(2x)
Forgiveness or vengeance?
Everyone will pay,
Retribution or penance?
Any which way,
Squinted eyes damn the land behind,
I leave the lies to the ones who mind,
Shamed in the eyes of faithful blind,
But untwined from all the ties that bind,
Farewell to fake smiles and bile,
Welcome endless miles, beautiful exile,
Laugh at my pain,
I'm glad it makes you smile,
It shows we're not the same,
So I embrace exile,
(2x)
Forgiveness or vengeance?
Everyone will pay,
Retribution or penance?
Any which way,
Everyone will pay,
Any which way,
I'm toxic to touch, so you built a wall
I turn my back on you all, and embrace the fall,
I proclaimed innocence, but you refused to hear,
Now alone with my fear, in the World of Weird,
Lost and alone with nowhere to go.
A wandering fool without a home,
Cast away from where I was and what I want,
Now spell God one letter, that is 'I'
It's all a metaphor for something more,
A world behind an invisible door,
The realm of real and that of imagination,
Crash together in my creation,
(4x)
Forgiveness or vengeance?
Everyone will pay,
Retribution or penance?
Any which way...
