Back From Exile Lyrics

Let me tell you the story of a man
In New Orleans where his troubles began
If you've ever lost a love, then you might understand
But never count your chips, son, until the last hand
When the fever struck I was left to my demise
For many years I was forced to walk the line
But I saw a vision of the Phoenix rise
Hello motherf*ckers, 'cause I'm back from exile
I'm back from exile
I'm back from exile
If the water is still you can expect an attack
The same hands you shook put the knife in your back
You know, vultures and wolves always travel in packs
And the cowards come running as they cover their tracks
I'm more mad at myself I couldn't realize But I vowed to return and take back what once was mine
In the cold, cold morning with the sleep still in your eyes
Hello motherf*ckers, 'cause I'm back from exile
I'm back from exile
I'm back from exile
If I would have known that if I should fall from grace
You'd be the first to kick dirt into my face
Don't you remember how we got to this place
All I ever wanted was a meaningful embrace
I'd forgive you if I could and if the nightmares would subside
But you judged before I was ever put on trial
And oh my good friend, I do apologize
Hello motherf*cker, 'cause I'm back from exile
I'm back from exile
I'm back from exile
Back From Exile
