Young Rebel Set Lions Mouth
Intro: - Lead guitar plays Theme
1.Strophe Part A: (only drums, bass and accoustic guitar)
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.
1.Strophe Part B (all):
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.
Ref.
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.
2.Strophe
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.
Ref.
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.
Guitar Solo on ½ Strophe
3.Strophe: Only Drums and Bass and Handklapp (2-1-2-1)
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.
Break
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.
Ref.
So I jumped into the lion s mouth,
just to see what life was really all about.
And when I returned in the flames and whatever still remains
oh yeah you will see what I was all about.
(break)
So I jumped into the lion s mouth,
just to see what life was really all about.
And when I returned in the flames and whatever still remains
oh yeah you will see what I was all about.
