Coming Home

Caedmon's Call

from the album Caedmon's Call

Play sample

You say you want a living sacrifice
Well I am a burnt offering
Crawling off the altar
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

Chorus:
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
But I'm still a long way off

I am shell shocked and I have walked
Through the trenches full of tears
With the mortars of memory
Exploding in my burning ears

You've stripped the trees of Lebanon
And now you're stripping me
Of the bark of false morality
And the bite of selfish greed
Lord, can you hear me

Chorus

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

Chorus
