1.Lion's Mouth
They saddled me with bullets and they handed me a gun and they
said my boy you're going off to war. I said goodbye to my lover
as I walked out the door she said I'm too afraid I won't see you
no more. I reassured her with a kiss, and like my aim I did not
miss and I hold that memory with me to this day. I said I'm
going across the sea to fight another one of me and I know not
of the reason or or what for. So I jumped into the lion's mouth,
just to see what life was really all about. And if I'm returned
to the flames and whatever still remains oh yeah you will see
what I was all about. For years went on by without a bullet in
my side and I thanked the Lord that I had survived. When I
walked through that door I caught you naked on the floor and a
part of me that survived well it just died. So I put you in the
lion's mouth, so you could see what life was all about and now
you're returned to the flames and whatever ever still remains oh
yeah now you'll see what I was all about. So I climbed up on the
stairs above her body where she lay and I tied that noose around
my own neck. And I thank God for all my days and to forgive my
wicked ways and let him without sin cast the first stone. And
with that said I jumped into my souls eternal bed and I let my
legs swing beneath my head. So if you should ever question the
reason or what for oh then clearly boy you've never been to war.
