Exile by Other View (IT) Lyrics

I am a criminal a master among thieves
Sentenced without appeal for a crime I won't admit
Oh, sure, I did the deed, but one should never tell
Come and admire me, a rotten king, is wallowing in filth

I follow principles of selfishness and crime
But you can't prove I'm guilty any single time
I'll do it all again whenever I come back
I'm like a rattle snake, I roll and shake, I'm ready to attack

Deep down inside I know
That I deserve my woes
But I don't really give a damn
I'll tell a million lies
Corrupt the ones most wise
To regain access to my land

I'm on an exile
Lost without a home
Exile
Longing to return
I'm on an exile
I'm an assassin and a perjurer at best
Too many selfish sins I carry on my chest
I'm banned from anywhere I've ever called a home
A wild erratic beast, I scrounge and feast, on carcasses and bone

But still I'm hunting for
The pardon I implore
For many sins unanswered yet
Still longing to return
To see the girl I love
I live in punishing regret

I'm on an exile
Lost without a home
Exile
Longing to return
I'm on an exile

I live the present tense
And lack all kinds of common sense
There is no lesson I can learn
You'd think that I'd repent but I still claim my innocence
I know someday I will return

I live the present tense
And lack all kinds of common sense
I've pillaged raped and burned
My days are full of gore
But there is nothing I love more
Someday I will return

I'm on an exile
Lost without a home
Exile
Longing to return
I'm on an exile
Exile
Come on come on come on come on
On an exile
Exile
Going nowhere
On an exile
Exile
