Caedmon's Call - Coming Home

Coming Home


You say you want a living sacrifice 

Well I am a burnt offering 

Crawling off the alter and 

Back in to the fire 

And with my smoke-filled lungs 

I cry out for freedom 

While locking and chaining myself 

To my rotting desires 



AND I HATE THE STENCH, 

BUT I SWALLOW THE KEY. 

AND WITH IT STUCK IN MY THROAT, CAN YOU HEAR ME? 

CAN YOU HEAR ME 



I`M COMIN` HOME, I`M COMIN` HOME 

I`M COMIN` HOME, I`M COMIN` HOME, BUT I`M STILL A LONG WAY OFF 



I am shelled-shocked, and I have walked 

Through the trenches full of tears 

With the mortars of memory 

Exploding in my burning ears 



You stripped the trees of Lebanon 

And now you`re stripping me 

Of the bark of false morality 

And the bite of selfish greed 

Can you hear me? 



I`M COMIN` HOME, I`M COMIN` HOME 

I`M COMIN` HOME, I`M COMIN` HOME, BUT I`M STILL A LONG WAY OFF 



WILL YOU RUN TO ME? WILL YOU COME TO ME? 

WILL YOU MEET ME, WILL YOU GREET ME, 

WILL YOU DRAG ME HOME `CAUSE I`M STILL A LONG WAY OFF 



I`M COMIN` HOME, I`M COMIN` HOME 

I`M COMIN` HOME, I`M COMIN` HOME
