Exile Lyrics by Mr. Strange

WTF?! (The Best of Mr. Strange)

2013

[Intro]
Welcome to exile
Welcome to exile
Welcome to exile
Welcome to exile

[Verse 1]
In the rain and the rumbling thunder
Cast asunder, they threw me under
A life damned by a venomous spiel
Now an ideal left for an animal's 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Forget my name
I am an outcast
A sunset on my shame
But I will outlast

[Chorus 2x]
Forgiveness or vengeance?
Everyone will pay
Retribution or penance?
Any which way

[Verse 2]
Squinted eyes damn the land behind
I leave the lies to the ones who mind
Shamed in the eyes of the faithful blind
But untwined from all the ties that bind
Farewell to fake smiles and bile
Welcome endless miles, beautiful exile

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Laugh at my pain
I'm glad it makes you smile
It shows we're not the same
So I embrace exile

[Chorus 2x]
Forgiveness or vengeance?
Everyone will pay
Retribution or penance?
Any which way

Everyone will pay
Any which way

[Bridge]
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 all alone with my fear, in the 'World of Weird'

[Verse 3]
I'm 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'

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus 4x]
Forgiveness or vengeance?
Everyone will pay
Retribution or penance?
Any which way
