Lion's Mouth - Young Rebel Set/Matthew Chipchase

Composed by：Matthew Chi

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

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

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

So I jumped into the lion's mouth
