O, Serpent and Lion! I invoke Thee! Inside the shrine called life By the seven wonders By myriad mortals That have gone And are to come Outside desert ov restriction

My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray! No she never called, I had something to say! I don't know much and I don't know how Why would she put me through such torture, I would have given my life for her, She was the one that knocked me over,

'Cause I know this whole crazy ride's in your hands Hello, it's been too long My fault I haven't called Thank you for picking up the phone I've been swimming around Trying hard not to drown Waiting on my life calling to sound And I'm hangin' on best as I

Mama look at me now Mama look at me now (hey) When I was younger no one ever could tell me How to live my life They called my mama just to tell her Well, mama look at me now Catch me waving from the sky in a brand new G-5 They said that kid was on slide,

And we're not blind We are listening This is your life, this is your time Show me now Show me the arms aloft This my chick This is your time It's like we just can't help ourselves Cause we don't know how to back down

Oh you feel that as I take you to them dirt roads deep in your southern roots When nobody said life was going to be easy And we travel to this emotional roller coaster called life And we have our ups and downs Just keep in mind When you hit rock bottom

That's real life, oh oh oh Real life, ooh Mama talking that real life, oh oh oh That real life, real life, real life, real life Mama called me destructive, oh yeah Said it ruined me one day, yeah Cause every woman that loved me, oh yeah Seemed to push

'Cause I know this whole crazy ride's in your hands Hello, it's been too long My fault I haven't called Thank you for picking up the phone I've been swimming around Trying hard not to drown Waiting on my life calling to sound And I'm hangin' on best as I

'Cause I know this whole crazy ride's in your hands Hello, it's been too long My fault I haven't called Thank you for picking up the phone I've been swimming around Trying hard not to drown Waiting on my life calling to sound And I'm hangin' on best as I

Each will dig their own graves And bury themselves in life's failures And now the ground we called our home Is but a barren wasteland The only sound drowning your cries Is the detonation That's the sound of humanity melting away Say goodbye it's the end
