Nickel Eye - 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**ers, '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**ers, '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**ers, 'cause I'm back from exile I'm back from exile I'm back from exile Back From Exile
