Exile from DERITEND by Cult Figures
Nothing lasts forever and every man will eventually have his day. Sentiments that can sometimes bring a little comfort to a discontented population, bearing the brunt of a corrupt leadership. EXILE imagines a day in the not too distant future (or past), when the game is finally up and the despot is forced to leave office. And what is the identity of this disgraced manipulator? You decide.

Lyrics
EXILE
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Now that house is not your home
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Now your lies have been exposed
On your way to who knows where
Passing strangers stop to stare
All your friends are far behind
Fading pictures in your mind
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Now the doors are firmly closed
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
bleeding feet on broken stones
In the worst month of the year
Cheap hotels and worthless tears
Under blankets worn and thin
Bones jut out through sallow skin
And the king has been deposed
Now the borderline has closed
Try to sing a cheerful song
What won’t kill you makes you strong
